Michael Carrick
6/10
His influence diminished as the game wore on. Could probably have done without going the distance.
Marouane Fellaini
7/10
Was arguably United’s most dangerous player. Linked the midfield and attack together extremely well.
Andreas Pereira
6/10
Was a constant thorn in Middlesbrough’s side, but wasn’t able to do enough to breach their defences.
Jesse Lingard
6/10
Lively, but lucky not to have been sent off in the early stages. Still has a lot of developing to do.
James Wilson
6/10
Had his chances but failed to capitalise. Still improving.
Memphis Depay
6/10
Like Wilson, he had his chances, but looks low on confidence. He should have torn Middlesbrough up.
Subs:
Ashley Young: 7/10 – Lively going forward and did his defensive duties well.
Wayne Rooney: 4/10 – By and large, anonymous. Missed his penalty.
Anthony Martial: 6/10 – Dangerous, but would have been more effective through the middle.
