Manchester United player ratings as Bruno Fernandes shines but Casemiro poor vs Bournemouth

Manchester United were forced to battle hard for a 2-2 at the Vitality Stadium after a difficult first half against Bournemouth.

Several players were way below their best levels again as Erik ten Hag’s side went in 2-1 down at the break. However, a better performance in the second period saw them draw level through Bruno Fernandes’ penalty.

Fernandes had levelled in the first period too, but Bournemouth struck twice either side of that through Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert in another disjointed display that saw the Cherries have numerous more chances.

The result leaves Ten Hag’s side seventh in the Premier League table. Here’s how the United players rated:

Andre Onana

Beaten far too easily at his near post by Justin Kluivert but denied the Dutchman shortly before half-time with what proved to be a vital stop. 5

Diogo Dalot

His worst performance for a while and he failed to pick up Kluivert when he received the ball to score. Had a more serene second half. 5

Willy Kambwala

Lost his first two early duels with Dominic Solanke and was sufficiently spooked that he lost his balance when the striker scored. Almost conceded a late penalty. 4

Harry Maguire

Soldiered on with an injury after an exchange with the medical staff and his presence for the full duration was one of the few positives. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

The auxiliary left back was pulled this way and that during Bournemouth's dominant first half but he was more on the front foot in the second. 5

Casemiro

The only benefit in having him in the team is that it benefits Kobbie Mainoo. Flagged yet again. How bad must Sofyan Amrabat be to not get a look-in? 4

Kobbie Mainoo

One of the few respectable performers and his patience on the ball paid dividends when
