Manchester United (4-2-3-1)

Andre Onana

How long can Ten Hag stick with his errant keeper? Failed to deal with the free kick for Villa’s first goal and stuck on his line for second. 5.5

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Vital clearance to deny Villa and looked calm and composed on the ball. 6

Jonny Evans

Another impressive display with some key interceptions and blocks. Huge goal-saving clearance from McGinn in the second-half. 6

Raphael Varane

Back from illness to feature in United’s ninth different defensive partnership this season and was exposed at both set-pieces Villa scored. 5

Diogo Dalot

Not for the first time, he performed like a right-back playing at left-back. Ventured into the final third to supplement attacks and improved. 6

Kobbie Mainoo

Had another midfield partner in Christian Eriksen for a third game running but produced another composed display and started move for second goal. 7

Christian Eriksen

Offered some craft, spurned a couple of early chances and gave United a measure of control in midfield. 6.5

Marcus Rashford

Back in the team and back on the left. There were glimpses of his old self and he assisted Garnacho’s first goal. 7.5

Bruno Fernandes

A little wayward in the first half and frustration showed, but improved in the second-half and was crucial to the comeback.. 7.5

Alejandro Garnacho

United’s most threatening forward and scored two goals. Had one effort disallowed for offside but then scored twice to level the match. 8

Looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders before finally scoring his first Premier League goal. 7
