Casemiro puts in another horror show, but this player was biggest disaster vs Palace

Manchester United lost to Crystal Palace 4-0 at Selhurst Park tonight. Here are our player ratings from the game-

(A score of 6 is around average)

Andre Onana 4- Not particularly at fault for any goal but looked jittery as a sweeper and doesn’t inspire much confidence otherwise.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka 3- Olise had him on toast even when he wasn’t scoring. Probably his last season at the club.

Casemiro 1- Ill-advised slide tackle to let Olise run free for the first goal, incorrect positioning for the second, and robbed of the ball for the fourth. He’s not a centre-back, not in form, and probably not Premier League level anymore. A recipe for disaster.

Jonny Evans 3- It’s not his fault that he’s a 36-year-old presumably emergency signing being rushed back due to the absence of defenders but Palace’s agile forward line had him dazed.

Diogo Dalot 5- Tried to make things happen but the team looked like they had seen a ghost in Selhurst Park’s intense atmosphere and the malaise soon engulfed him.

Kobbie Mainoo 4- A chastening experience for the youngster who has emerged with credit even in United’s worst displays until this game.

Christian Eriksen 2- Repeat Casemiro’s lines about him minus him playing out of position. Looked like a man stuck on a busy street as cars buzzed around him.

Antony 1- He’s not it. A couple of goals and assists here or there doesn’t change the fact that he’s not starter-level for a club that United aspire to be. Arguably a bigger disaster than Casemiro since he was in his favoured position and his failures don’t directly affect the score.

Mason Mount 3- He can be a part of a well-functioning team, which United are not. Doesn’t have the game, or the ability to affect games like the player he replaced for this game, Bruno Fernandes.

Alejandro Garnacho 4- Tried some of his dribbles and won a free-kick at the edge of the area with one but that’s as good as it got for him.

Rasmus Hojlund 3- Fails with his back to goal and many other aspects of what makes a complete striker. In an ideal world, he’d be coming off the bench for an experienced striker with United already leading.

Substitutes:

Amrabat 3- Just the man you need when the team is trailing 3-0! Was never going to be the difference maker and it was remarkable that he came on before Amad.

Amad 5- Held back till the 80th minute and Palace were coasting in second gear by the time he came in and United were waiting for the final whistle.

Ethan Wheatley 6- Came on with Amad. Would be harsh to rate the teenager any lower in only his second senior appearance in this mess of a team.

Manager Erik ten Hag 1– How much can the manager be blamed for losing when he had just 12 senior outfielders available, including some rushed back? Not much but adapting to the team at hand is why they’re paid the big bucks and Ten Hag has consistently seemed unable to, or worse still, unwilling to adapt and this was more of the same.
