Man Utd player ratings as David de Gea gets a 1 in West Ham defeat

Ten Hag wants no easing up from Man Utd before end of season

Manchester United’s grip on a top-four spot in the Premier League loosened further after suffering back-to-back defeats at West Ham United on Sunday. Said Benrahma profited from a David de Gea mistake in the first half to net what proved to be the decisive goal in a 1-0 win.

Express Sport rates Erik ten Hag’s visitors after another dismal display intensified doubts over Champions League qualification.

David de Gea – 1

A month after his horror show in Seville, De Gea did his best to better it against West Ham.

Produced a horrific blunder to chalk off a positive start from United. Was as reluctant to claim crosses as usual. Ten Hag needs a new No 1 if he’s to enjoy long-term success.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 6

One of the bright sparks in a woeful United performance. Had more defending to do than attacking but still created three chances.

Victor Lindelof – 5

Didn’t particularly put a foot wrong but could’ve done more to block Benrahma’s shot.

Luke Shaw – 6

Looked assured again at centre-back and won an impressive four out of five aerial duels.

Tyrell Malacia – 4

Received an early booking an offered very little going forward.

Casemiro – 4

Only won two out of six ground duels. Outclassed by Declan Rice.

Christian Eriksen – 5

Tried to make things tick with a 92 per cent pass accuracy but didn’t create anything of note.

Antony – 6

United’s most dangerous attacking outlet and joined Wan-Bissaka in creating three chances. Ten Hag should’ve kept him on.

Bruno Fernandes – 6

Was United’s most creative player, as is the norm, and was unfortunate not to open the scoring early on.

Marcus Rashford – 5

Two goals in his last 10 games. United could really do with Rashford rediscovering his scoring touch in the final four games.

Wout Weghorst – 5

Started brightly but posed very little threat to West Ham’s goal.

Substitutes

Anthony Martial – 2

Could’ve scored twice late on. Definitely should’ve scored once. It’s no surprise United’s summer priority is a striker.

Marcel Sabitzer – 4

Didn’t elevate United after replacing Christian Eriksen.

Jadon Sancho – 3

Touched the ball 15 times.

Diogo Dalot – came on late

Fred – came on late
