Manchester United Player Ratings Against PAOK

Manchester United defeats PAOK 2-0 in their Europa League match at Old Trafford. Amad Diallo was the star of the show, scoring both goals for the Red Devils.

His first goal came in the 50th minute, a brilliant header from a Bruno Fernandes cross. The second goal was a stunning individual effort, with Diallo wrestling his way into a shooting position and curling the ball into the far corner of the net in the 77th minute.

The win was a much-needed one for Manchester United, who now have six points and are 14th in the Europa League table.

Interim head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy will be pleased with the result, but he knows his time at the helm is limited, with Ruben Amorim set to take over next week.

Here’s how the Man United players were rated after the game;

Andre Onana – 8

A spectator in the early going before being called upon to make an acrobatic save from Abdoul Camara – and in the second half anticipated brilliantly to thwart Tissoudali at 1-0 too. Distributed well, with one superb long ball finding Amad in the first half.

Noussair Mazraoui – 6.5

Looked to get forward in his more familiar right-back role—a decent performance on the night with few good crosses into the box.

Jonny Evans – 6.5

Still looks assured on the ball and made one great sliding tackle late on – but also vulnerable on the few occasions that PAOK did attack with pace. Will be 37 in January and surely, won’t still be at Old Trafford by the time he’s 38.

Victor Lindelof – 6

Despite showing aerial prowess, the Swede’s attempts to play out from the back were inconsistent, sometimes jeopardizing his teammates’ positioning. His highlight came when releasing Amad on goal.

Diogo Dalot – 6

He mirrored Mazraoui’s attacking intent but lacked finesse in the final third, epitomized by a misplaced shot that wasted a second-half chance.

Casemiro – 7

Started with real intent, with one raking cross nearly setting up Garnacho and also having appeals for a penalty turned down. Also made a crucial defensive block but his influence faded in the second half.

Manuel Ugarte – 5

Still struggling to impose himself on English football. Picked up a yellow card for a mistimed tackle after the break and was hauled off soon after.

Amad – 9

Despite being overlooked by Erik ten Hag this season, he capitalized on his chance, delivering an outstanding performance. A worthy man of the match performance from the Ivorian,

Bruno Fernandes– 7

Failed to stamp his authority on the contest but did deliver a sublime deep cross for Amad’s opener. As always, work rate was high and was pressing the PAOK defenders even at 2-0.

Alejandro Garnacho – 6

Lively and seemed determined to put Sunday’s horror show behind him. But again, his execution when it mattered was lacking. Another frustrating night for the Uruguayan.

Rasmus Hojlund – 4

For all the talk over a lack of service, the Dane struggled to link with his midfield and needs to find a way to get into games. Just 10 touches in the first half, and wasted a golden headed chance early on. A bad night for him.
