Man Utd player ratings vs Luton: Hojlund shines, Mainoo impresses in lackluster win

Rasmus Hojlund (9/10): The Danish striker continues his impressive scoring run, showing shades of Ruud van Nistelrooy with two well-taken goals.

 

Kobbie Mainoo (8/10): Mainoo displays his class with nimble footwork and excellent game reading, helping United navigate Luton’s aggressive press.

Raphael Varane (8/10): Solid at the back, Varane makes crucial blocks to keep Luton at bay after they breach midfield and the flanks.

 

 

Jonny Evans (8/10): Evans comes on as a substitute and puts in an outstanding defensive performance, heading and clearing every ball that comes his way.

Andre Onana (6/10): Onana does well to slow down the game and alleviate pressure but could have done better to thwart Luton’s attacks.

Diogo Dalot (5/10): Struggles against Alfie Doughty and misses an opportunity for a one-on-one with Thomas Kaminski.

 

Harry Maguire (5/10): Maguire’s performance is shaky, arriving late to tackles and eventually receiving a yellow card before being taken off at half-time.

Casemiro (5/10): Fortunate to avoid another booking, Casemiro’s performance against Barkley is underwhelming, but he contributes to the first goal with a long punt that Hojlund capitalizes on.

Bruno Fernandes (5/10): Fernandes makes some sloppy passes but puts in effort to contain Luton and makes a crucial block late in the game.

 

Alejandro Garnacho (4/10): Garnacho makes poor decisions, including a failed dribble attempt, but manages to provide an assist.

Marcus Rashford (5/10): Rashford disappoints overall, with some promising moments but failing to release Garnacho earlier and missing a dream pass opportunity.

Victor Lindelof (6/10): Lindelof performs better as a makeshift left-back compared to the previous week but picks up a yellow card.

Scott McTominay (6/10): McTominay comes on at half-time, holds the ball well, and contributes to the defensive effort.

Sofyan Amrabat (N/A): Amrabat is brought on late in the match to solidify the defense.

Erik ten Hag (6/10): Ten Hag’s substitutions make sense and prevent potential red cards, but United’s struggle to maintain control in the second half raises concerns.
