Manchester United player ratings as Facundo Pellistri and Hannibal Mejbri good vs Athletic Bilbao

Tom Heaton

Acquitted himself well again as he willingly adapts to meet Erik ten Hag's demands for proactive goalkeeping. Almost kept out Inaki Williams's goal. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Did next to nothing in the final third again, which is what he is judged on. Opened conversation with Ten Hag; perhaps he is coming out of his shell. 5

Victor Lindelof

Switched to the left-hand side of central defence and was comfortable. Showed a sense of adventure as United attempted to equalise. 6

Harry Maguire

Committed a couple of sloppy errors before his intercepted pass led to the opening goal. Booed and then cheered. Showed resilience to assist Facundo Pellistri. 6

Alvaro Fernandez

Embarked on some crowdpleasing charges into the final third but came close to giving away a penalty. Ten Hag seemed satisfied with his efforts. 6

Dan Gore

Dutifully took on the role Kobbie Mainoo seemed set to occupy for most of pre-season and put himself about again. 6

Christian Eriksen

Should have been more commanding and still looks a way off of his form in the first months of last season. His free-kick went just over. 5

Facundo Pellistri

Started brightly and should have played Omari Forson in. Faded in the first half but hit the ground running in the second and startled Athletic. Fouled a number of times and then equalised. 8

Donny van de Beek

A possible swansong for the Dutchman, who underwhelmed so much and was substituted at half time. Possibly a fitting epitaph to his United career. 4

Omari Forson

Back on the left wing, he was not as threatening as he was against Borussia Dortmund prior to his punitive withdrawal. 5

Jadon Sancho

Missed a one-on-one in
