Manchester United secured a commanding 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. Here are the player ratings reflecting their performances in the match.
Altay Bayindir 5
Failed to command his area, particularly for Leicester’s opening goal, though he did make a crucial fingertip save against Boubakary Soumare in the second half.
Diogo Dalot 7
Started off a bit shaky but grew into the game. Delivered a sublime cross for Garnacho’s goal, demonstrating his attacking capabilities.
Matthijs de Ligt 6
Had a steady performance, rarely putting a foot wrong and not at fault for the goals conceded. Kept things tidy at the back.
Victor Lindelof 6
Similar to De Ligt, he had a decent outing without any major errors, contributing to the overall defensive stability.
Lisandro Martinez 5
Didn’t have a terrible game, but allowed Leicester significant space on the left at the start of the second half. His lack of natural left-back positioning showed.
Manuel Ugarte 8
Impressive in midfield! This was undoubtedly his best showing since joining from PSG. He was always first to the ball and effectively linked defense and attack.
Casemiro 9.5
A standout performer, breaking the deadlock with a powerful strike and adding another goal shortly after. Dominated defensively and was pivotal in transitioning play.
Marcus Rashford 6
Showed some decent moments but lacked consistency. Looked more effective when he switched to the left flank.
Alejandro Garnacho 7
Continues to shine with another goal, marking ten goal contributions in just 15 appearances this season. Played with confidence and posed a constant threat.
Bruno Fernandes 9
Like Casemiro, he was back in scoring form with a breathtaking free-kick and a composed finish in the second half to seal the win for United.
Joshua Zirkzee 4
Struggled to make an impact and failed to find the net in a game filled with scoring opportunities. Needs to regain his confidence.
Substitutes
Amad Diallo 7
Brought energy when he came on, almost adding to the scoreline with an impressive bicycle kick.
Noussair Mazraoui 6
Provided a solid replacement for Martinez, enhancing the left side’s threat for United.
Rasmus Hojlund 5
Displayed some nice touches and combinations but had little impact on the game overall.
Jonny Evans 5
Looked comfortable during his time on the pitch, contributing to the team’s stability.
Ethan Wheatley 5
Had a limited impact in the short period he was on the field.
