Failed to stop Youri Tielemans’ cross into the box ahead of Villa’s second goal. Isn’t clinical enough, doesn’t think quickly enough and isn’t the answer in front of goal for the Red Devils. Was hauled off with 20 minutes remaining after being humiliated by Villa centre-back Victor Lindelof, who was offloaded by the Red Devils in the summer. Was never going to offer United as much as the Red Devils captain does in midfield, though. Joshua Zirkzee: 5 Introduced to the action for the final 20 minutes as the Red Devils went in search of an equaliser but didn't make an impact.
