Man Utd Ratings: West Ham Win - A Cracking Performance!
So, the Red Devils took down West Ham, huh? A solid win, and some players really shone. Let's dive into the individual Man Utd player ratings from that cracking match. It wasn't always pretty, but a win's a win, right?
The Stars of the Show
Bruno Fernandes (9/10): Man, what a performance from Bruno! He was absolutely buzzing, dictating the tempo, creating chances, and generally being a nuisance to the West Ham defense. His vision and passing were top-notch. A true captain's performance, even if he's not officially the captain.
Marcus Rashford (8.5/10): Rashford was a menace all game. His pace and direct running caused West Ham all sorts of problems. He bagged a goal, too! He's looking back to his best form – absolutely lethal. Seeing him play with such confidence is awesome.
Casemiro (8/10): The midfield maestro. Casemiro was his usual, unflappable self, breaking up play, shielding the defense, and distributing the ball intelligently. He's the rock that this United team is built upon. You know, the kind of player who makes you go "whew, glad he's on our side!"
Decent Performances
Raphael Varane (7.5/10): Solid as ever. Varane dealt with West Ham's attacks with his usual composure and elegance. A reliable presence at the back. No real drama, which is just what you want from a center-back.
Lisandro Martinez (7/10): The little fella put in a shift. He’s a bit fiery, and sometimes that gets him in trouble, but he's also incredibly tenacious and won a lot of tackles. No complaints here.
Luke Shaw (7/10): Shaw had a pretty decent game going forward, getting involved in attacks and delivering some good crosses. His defensive work was solid too. He's proving his worth, week after week.
Room for Improvement
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (6.5/10): AWB did okay, but nothing spectacular. He’s reliable defensively but needs to add more to his attacking game. Needs to show more adventure going forward.
Antony (6/10): A bit quiet tonight. Antony showed flashes of his skill, but he needs to be more consistent and impactful. He’s got the potential, though, so no big worries.
Christian Eriksen (6/10): Didn’t quite have the same impact as in some previous games. Still contributes well to the team's overall play, though. He's a key player, but he wasn't at his best this time.
Alejandro Garnacho (6/10): Came on as a sub and made a difference, adding pace and energy to the attack. He's a bright spark for the future.
The Verdict?
Overall, it was a good team performance. There were some standout individual performances that carried the team to victory. The win keeps the pressure on the teams above Man United in the league, and shows the quality and depth of this squad. Let's keep this momentum going, lads! GGMU!
