Man United Player Ratings vs Leeds: Wan-Bissaka and Shaw Shine in Tepid Elland Road Draw

Aaron Wan-Bissaka finished the afternoon at Elland Road with the highest mark in Manchester United's team, an 8 out of 10 from the Manchester Evening News, in a Premier League draw with Leeds United that the paper called tepid. The summary data lists the score as 1-1, though the ratings piece itself concentrates on individual performances rather than the goals.

Wan-Bissaka earned his mark with a confident display against Jack Harrison, and he also set up a good chance for Bruno Fernandes. The paper described the performance as impressive and all-round. Next in the ratings were the back line's other members. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire each got a 7, as did Luke Shaw.

Lindelof had one edgy moment, an errant pass in the first half, but otherwise held firm and dealt well with Patrick Bamford. Maguire passed well when he pushed forward into attacks and marshalled the defence, but he was booked and lost his temper with his teammate Fred. Shaw drove down the left and almost always offered support to Marcus Rashford, though the paper suggested he may have been fortunate not to be penalised for handball inside his own area.

In goal, Dean Henderson had routine efforts to handle in the sun and earned a 6. The paper noted it was a much calmer showing than his erratic afternoon against Burnley the week before. In midfield, Scott McTominay, also a 6, was called disciplined but not daring. He had scored twice against Leeds in December, but was less adventurous this time. Fred, another 6, pressed eagerly in what the paper called Solskjaer's trusted triangle, but had little influence until he played Mason Greenwood in with a perceptive pass.

The forward line drew the harshest marks. Greenwood, who started through the middle a week after his manager said he was not ready for the centre-forward role, got a 5 and the paper said he did not look ready. Fernandes also got a 5. He was described as subdued again and shanked a shot, and the paper said his inclusion undermined the removal of Paul Pogba, whom it called United's best attacker this calendar year. Daniel James, also a 5, did not vindicate his recall. Leeds players treated him roughly, but his decision-making on the ball was poor when United looked threatening.

Rashford was the brightest of the attackers, with a 6. He tormented Luke Ayling and tested Illan Meslier with a dipping free-kick in a bright first half, but could not carry the passengers in the second. Among the substitutes, Pogba had a half-chance he failed to control and got a 6. Edinson Cavani, a 5, came on too late. Donny van de Beek made a cameo appearance and went unrated.

The manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, also received a 5. The paper said James's recall was not vindicated and that Pogba's arrival was peculiarly late. It called leaving Pogba out of the starting XI illogical. Selection choices, particularly Pogba's omission and Greenwood's central role, are likely to draw further scrutiny of the manager.
