Manchester United welcomed Leicester City at Old Trafford earlier this evening as they looked to earn a positive result at home. The Red Devils were solid in the first 45 minutes and went into the half-time interval with a goalless scoreline.
Kelechi Iheanacho finally broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute when he scored with a good header. However, Man United equalised just three minutes later when Fred found the back of the net from a tight angle. The match ended with the Mancunian outfit playing out a 1-1 draw at the Theatre of Dreams.
Let’s take a look at how each Man United player performed during the clash against the Foxes.
GK: David de Gea – 7/10
The Spanish keeper made a couple of world-class saves to rescue a point for his team.
RB: Diogo Dalot – 6.5/10
He looked vulnerable defensively but made two key chances in the Leicester half.
CB: Harry Maguire – 7/10
Maguire earned the ball back a few times inside his half and cleared his lines when needed. He was also accurate with his passing.
CB: Raphael Varane – 6.5/10
Varane put his foot through the ball when required but produced a disjointed display in the second half.
