Midfielders

Declan Rice (DM) – 9/10 – A majestic display, but was particularly brilliant in the opening period. What a moment at the end. Immense.

Kai Havertz (CM) – 3/10 – Absolutely nothing is falling for poor Kai at the moment. Needs to develop a relationship with Martinelli down the left if he’s to have any chance of finding some form.

Martin Odegaard (CM) – 7/10 – The skipper’s goal was just lovely. Constantly probed and sought to disrupt United’s defensive block.
