Manchester United player ratings as Fernandes and Eriksen good vs Nottingham Forest

Andre Onana

Went to ground far too easily for the one-on-one that Taiwo Awoniyi scored in the second minute. Helpless for the second goal. 5

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Lost the aerial duel that led to the first goal but otherwise decent and provided reasonable service but the absence of a reliable striker was glaring. 6

Raphael Varane

Had to cover for United's porous left-hand side once but came off at half-time, presumably with an injury. 6

Lisandro Martinez

Arguably having a more chastening start to this season than last season. Too loose and too hot-headed in the first half, he was calmer after the break. 5

Diogo Dalot

Strengthened Erik ten Hag's case for a new left-back. Not his natural position but often went walkabout and gave away the foul that led to Forest's second goal. 4

Casemiro

Not positioned for the breakaway Forest struck from and he barely marked Willy Boly for the second. Missed a great chance to equalise in the first half but did in the second. 6

Christian Eriksen

His smart prod in the 18th minute got United back into the contest. An upgrade on Mason Mount on his first start of the season. 6

Antony

A slight improvement in the first half on recent performances but not enough. Unfortunate with a curling effort at 2-2. Still not consistent enough. 5

Bruno Fernandes

Brilliantly worked United's equaliser with the free-kick before receiving the ball to nod down for Casemiro. Scored the penalty to put United ahead. 7

Marcus Rashford

Outmuscled and outsprinted by Awoniyi but atoned with good contributions for Eriksen's goal and the equaliser. 6

Anthony Martial

United's issues could be gauged by Martial's presence in the starting
