Played the ball out well and set Diogo Dalot on his way to creating a chance. Got away with a reckless lunge after some risky play in his own third. 6
Noussair Mazraoui
Was performing assuredly until he was caught out for Danny Welbeck’s opening goal. Otherwise another decent outing against more testing opponents. 6
Harry Maguire
Should have dealt with Joao Pedro’s cross that eventually led to Welbeck making it 1-0. Did not play 90 minutes again as he made way for Matthijs de Ligt. 5
Lisandro Martinez
An asset in attack but AWOL for the goal when he was the closest to Welbeck. Left a gap that led to James Milner’s chance at 1-0. 6
Diogo Dalot
Crossed perfectly for Amad to squander a fine chance with the game goalless and cleared off the line from Milner. 6
Casemiro
Started promisingly but his performance level started to drop and he was a defensive liability again. Took a back sear in the second half.
Kobbie Mainoo
Looking like a lad who has not had much of a breather in the past nine months. Might have come off sooner if United had better equipped midfielders. 5
Amad
Should have at least hit the target from Dalot’s cross and cocked up a breakaway with a poor pass. Atoned with the equaliser. 6
Mason Mount
Had his best and most meaningful half in a United shirt but came off at half-time. Presumably, through injury. 6
Marcus Rashford
Strayed offside time and again and was well ahead of play for his offside goal. United’s weakest player and came off just after the hour. 4
Bruno Fernandes
Pointlessly moaned at the referee after Brighton went ahead. Surprisingly substituted when his influenced seemed to be starting to grow. 5
Subs
Joshua Zirkzee
Lucklessly diverted Alejandro Garnacho’s goalbound tap-in over the line from an offside position. 5
Alejandro Garnacho
Thought he had put United 2-1 up but Zirkzee was offside. An upgrade on Rashford. 7

Matthijs de Ligt
Key interception. 5
Scott McTominay
A last throw of the dice on possibly his last united appearance. 6
Antony
