He destroyed us yesterday, I’m really disappointed with His performance,He wasted all the ball I gave Him yesterday”, Bruno Fernandez reveals the only Man United player that really disappointed Him during yesterday’s game
Manchester United and Manchester City ended their Community Shield clash in a 1-1 draw after regular time. Here’s a detailed assessment of the players’ performances:
Andre Onana (6) – Had a relatively quiet game with minimal save opportunities.
Diogo Dalot (6) – Engaged in a competitive matchup with Doku, holding his own before the winger’s substitution. Performed reliably after switching to the left side.
Harry Maguire (6) – Defended competently, making crucial interceptions to thwart City’s advances.
Jonny Evans (5) – Struggled during the first half and appeared unsettled. Improved slightly in the second half.
Lisandro Martinez (6) – Less effective as a left-back compared to his usual role in central defense. Benefited from McAtee hitting the post but still had a solid return to the lineup.
Casemiro (7)– Showed a marked improvement with sharper passing and more composed play. His defensive presence and stability in midfield were noteworthy, and he should aim to maintain this form throughout the season.
Kobbie Mainoo (6) – Delivered a composed performance with some good touches and ball control. Needs to continue developing to reach peak performance.
Mason Mount (5) – Had a slow start but gradually found his rhythm as the match progressed.
Amad Diallo (8)– United’s main threat during his time on the field, persistently troubling City’s defenders and frequently getting into the box. Missed a chance to score when he passed to Mount but was influential overall. His substitution was unexpected.
Marcus Rashford (6) – Missed key chances in the first half and in the 75th minute when set up by Garnacho. Contributed defensively with notable effort.
Bruno Fernandes (7)– Scored a fantastic goal, though it was ruled out for offside. Became increasingly influential as the game opened up.
Substitutes
Scott McTominay (6)– Missed a chance to score from Rashford’s header during a corner.
Facundo Pellistri (5) – Was outmaneuvered by Bernardo Silva for City’s equalizer while playing in an unfamiliar right-back position.
Alejandro Garnacho (9)– Provided a lively presence off the bench, linking well with Fernandes and delivering a superb cross that Rashford should have converted. Fully deserved his goal.
Toby Collyer (7)– Demonstrated excellent passing and movement, covering ground effectively.
