Man United player ratings v Tottenham: Poor performance from defender

By Emma Sanders

Football Insider rates the performances of the Manchester United players during their 1-0 victory against Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford.

David De Gea 7 - had to make a good save from Christian Eriksen's free-kick and kept a clean sheet. Wasn't overly tested.

Antonio Valencia 7 - received a booking for a reckless tackle on Danny Rose. Didn't get forward to0 often but made few mistakes.

Phil Jones 7 - another fairly good performance at centre-back and wasn't troubled by Eriksen, Harry Kane or Dele Alli.

Marcos Rojo 7 - worked well alongside Jones and like his partner was rarely troubled.

Matteo Darmian 5 - another poor display. Beaten on too many occasions and failed to get forward.

Michael Carrick (C) 7 - wasn't his usual influential performance but didn't make too many mistakes.

Ander Herrera 8 - another great performance from the holding midfielder. Has become an important player in the side.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan 9 - scored his second goal in three days. United's best player once again. Injury will be a concern.

Paul Pogba 8 - was involved in a number of positive attacks. A fairly good display and he hit the crossbar in the second half with a great effort.

Anthony Martial 6 - struggled to get going and couldn't beat Kyle Walker for pace. Disappointing performance.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic 7 - made a few good runs and was involved in some positive display but made little impact.
