Manchester United player ratings: How did Jose Mourinho’s men fare against young Boys in the Champions League?
Marouane Fellaini spared Jose Mourinho’s blushes as he popped up with a late winner to secure a 1-0 victory for Manchester United over Young Boys.The win, coupled with Valencia’s result in Turin, means the Red Devils have secured qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League.15

However, the performance at Old Trafford was decidedly woeful and seriously lacking in real quality or excitement.The front three of Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial showed glimpses of raw brilliance and skill, but failed to find the killer pass required to carve open their Swiss opponents.So how did the players fare individually on Tuesday night?Scroll down to see talkSPORT.com’s player ratings.15

David De Gea – 8

Made a truly spectacular save to keep the scores level. The Spaniard was a virtual spectator all game until that moment – producing a moment of magic when required.15

Antonio Valencia – 6

Although he is undeniably solid at right-back, you feel as though United more than that. He lacks the tactical understanding of the position to truly utilise his pace and natural attacking instincts – although that is hardly his fault at this stage in his career.15

Phil Jones – 7

Having seen his selection questioned by Man United fans on Twitter before the game, Jones delivered an extremely assured display. His reading of the game and physical style meant the opposition strikers had no chances to feed off of all game.15

Chris Smalling – 6

Like his centre-half partner, Smalling’s selection was questioned. But proved to be solid when called upon – should have scored before Fellaini though.15

Luke Shaw – 8

Perhaps the only positive besides De Gea, the left-back must be surely the second name on the teamsheet right now. Assured on the ball, confident going forward and bullish in defence, the former Southampton man showed plenty of the heart Mourinho suggested was missing before the game.15

Fred – 6

Looked uncomfortable playing in such a rigid midfield system. Perhaps it was due to his colleagues in the trio, but the Brazilian must already be wondering why he didn’t choose the blue half of Manchester…15

Marouane Fellaini – 4

Besides popping up with the late goal, Fellaini offered very little. Does not possess the intelligence or instinct to play incisive balls through the lines to break down stubborn defences. Great to lump it to when all else fails.15

Nemanja Matic – 5

Like the aforementioned Fellaini, the Serb does not possess the attacking instinct required to trouble opposition midfielders. Defensively sound, but you have to wonder why the Portuguese picked him.15

Jesse Lingard – 6

Besides a few fancy tricks and some full-blooded challenges, the England international looked a little lost. Seems to save his best performances for the Three Lions.15

Marcus Rashford – 5

Just not his night through the middle. Shifted out wide to accommodate Lukaku but just tried too hard to make things happen.15

Anthony Martial- 6

So much pace and trickery, the France international should be scoring and setting up goals for fun. As it is, the things he is trying just do not seem to be coming off.15

(SUB) Paul Pogba – 7

Brought on as Young Boys dropped deep and was gifted the time and space to spray some glorious passes around. Took the game by the scruff of the neck15

(SUB) Romelu Lukaku – 5

Like Martial, it seems as though the Belgium striker has everything in his locker to be clinical. However, the ball just will not fall in the right positions for him.15

(SUB) Juan Mata – 5

Looked extremely frustrated on the night, a player of his quality will never enjoy playing against such a rigid defence with so little time to operate.
