Manchester United locked horns with Fenerbahce at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium earlier tonight as they looked to earn a good result on the road in the UEFA Europa League. Erik ten Hag’s men made a quick start to the game and grabbed the lead in the 15th minute thanks to Christian Eriksen’s effort. The Red Devils managed to get to the half-time interval 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Youssef En-Nesyri equalised for the home team in the 49th minute as Man United were held to a lackluster 1-1 draw away from home.
Let’s take a look at how each Manchester United player fared during the match against Fenerbahce.
GK: Andre Onana – 6.5/10
Onana made a few important saves during the game and would be disappointed after conceding early in the second half.

He got stuck in with some solid tackles to make life tough for the opposition and made some good runs with the ball.
CB: Matthijs de Ligt – 6.5/10
De Ligt cleared his lines when he could and was a threat at the other end of the field.
CB: Victor Lindelöf – 6/10
He made two crucial clearances but failed to keep things solid on the defensive end of the field.
LB: Lisandro Martinez – 7/10
Martinez did his fair share of defending but offered very little going forward.

He scored the opening goal in the 15th minute and managed to create some decent chances in the final third.
CM: Manuel Ugarte – 7.5/10
