Man Utd player ratings: Mbeumo in peak form ahead of new season but Dorgu a huge cause for concern

MANCHESTER UNITED were held to a 1-1 draw in front of a sell-out crowd at Croke Park – before Michael Carrick’s side won the shootout 5-4. Bryan Mbeumo was the star of the show as the forward set up Joshua Zirkzee‘s cool finish before Brenden Aaronsen equalised in the 29th minute.

Noussair Mazraoui converted the winning penalty following Bruno Fernandes’ missed spot-kick. Sign up for the Man United newsletter Thank you! Harry Wilson and James Justin also fluffed their lines making United the first football club side to triumph at Dublin‘s historic Gaelic Football venue. Here’s how SunSport’s Manchester United correspondent Samuel Luckhurst rated the United players who won the Boyle Sports Cup. Senne Lammens – 7 His first appearance since his World Cup mistake against Spain. Had no chance for Aaronson‘s leveller on his maiden appearance wearing the number one. Made an excellent early second-half save with his foot. Diogo Dalot – 6 Captained United and looked match-fit in his first pre-season start. Mainly left most of the running to Amad down United’s right-hand side as he got an hour of playing time. Leny Yoro – 7 BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK Started at centre back for the first time in pre-season and had little to do amid United’s dominance. Reacted well to deny Dominic Calvert-Lewin from a near-post cross. Ayden Heaven – 6 A more confident performance after his dozy defending for Paris Saint-Germain‘s goal on Saturday. Looked assured on the ball, particularly when carrying it into the final third. Most read in Sport Harry Amass – 6 An intense performance on a rare start for the teenager amid United’s willingness to cash in. Amass was aggressive in the tackle and seemed keen to demonstrate his credentials as understudy to Luke Shaw. Harry Amass was aggressive and intense against Leeds as Ineos look to cash in Credit: Getty Andrey Santos – 6 Had a new partner in Tyler Fletcher and the pair underpinned United’s attacks with neat play. Santos was substituted at half-time after what was his fifth start. Tyler Fletcher – 5 Asserted himself impressively and he sprayed the ball around expertly. Then he got caught out on the ball and committed a cynical foul before another error led to the Leeds leveller. Amad – 7 Has got better with each of his three starts. Nearly matched Bryan Mbeumo for directness as he give Leeds youngster Rhys Chadwick a grilling. Seems well placed to start the season. Amad has improved with each of his three starts in pre-season Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Joshua Zirkzee – 6 His cushioned volley was well saved by James Trafford but Zirkzee was more clinical the second time, scoring for the first time since December. Strangely, he faded after the goal. His peculiar inclusion was maybe a shop window tactic. Patrick Dorgu -5 One of four players to have started all five friendlies and Dorgu has probably been the least convincing. Did little of note and made way at half-time. Matheus Cunha lacks minutes but should not struggle to get his place back. Bryan Mbeumo – 8 United’s start of pre-season did all the legwork to brilliantly create Zirkzee’s goal. Mbeumo should have scored himself but Trafford tipped his drilled strike wide and the Cameroonian also hit the crossbar. 8 Subs Dan Armer -5 Off the pace for an early Leeds chance in the second half. Toby Collyer – 5 Came on for the second half and struggled to get a foothold. Tynan Thompson – 6 Had a shot at goal deflect wide. Matheus Cunha – 6 Played up front on his return and was industrious. Bruno Fernandes – 7 Tried to make things happen and hit the crossbar. Jack Fletcher – 6 Entrusted with the odd set piece. 6= Noussair Mazraoui – 6 Probably trailing Dalot in the battle to start at right back. Luke Shaw – 6 Largely kept Wilfried Gnonto in check. Youri Tielemans – 6 Used the ball prudently. Dermot Mee – 7 Claimed a cross and made a decent stop. Comment now
