Man Utd player ratings: Lindelof was given the runaround by Atletico as poor Pogba is hooked for the second game running

MANCHESTER UNITED escaped with a draw at Atletico Madrid thanks to Anthony Elanga.

Joao Felix put the Spaniards ahead early on with a header in the first-leg of the Champions League last-16 tie.

But after being given the runaround in the first half, United battled back in the second and managed to level it with ten minutes to go thanks to the 19-year-old substitute.

Here’s how Gary Stonehouse rated each of the United men on display in the Spanish capital:

DAVID DE GEA – 6/10

Could have had Dean Henderson in goal with him and the pair still wouldn’t have stopped Joao Felix’s header.

Did not have much else to do despite Atletico’s dominance.

VICTOR LINDELOF – 4

Was the surprise choice at right-back in place of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot and made a great sliding challenge to deny Jose Luis Gimenez early on.

After a bright start, he then began to struggle to stop impressive wing-back Renan Lodi and would have been thankful to hear the half time whistle.

Booked on the hour mark for a foul on Felix.

RAPHAEL VARANE – 5

Just doesn’t look to be the same composed presence at the back as he is for France or during his time across the city at Real Madrid.

HARRY MAGUIRE – 5

Reacted slowly and allowed Joao Felix to get across him for the opening goal.

Still question marks over him at the top level.

LUKE SHAW – 6

Restricted to defensive duties as his side failed to get on the front foot and found his way into the referee’s book moments after the restart.

Was unfortunate to be subbed off but the tactical changes paid off.

FRED – 5

Was beaten too easily by Renan Lodi as the Atletico man whipped in the cross for the first goal.

Was constantly bypassed by the Atletico midfield and struggled massively against their press.

Booked in the second half for a clumsy challenge but at least he was constantly working – which is the minimum requirement.

PAUL POGBA – 5

Was caught in possession several times throughout the opening period and struggled in the midfield battle with Geoffrey Kondogbia, with his frustration boiling over when fouling his rival just before the break.

Withdrawn before the 70-minute mark for he second-successive game after another poor night.

MARCUS RASHFORD – 5

His pace was one of United’s only outlets but struggled to create much and left Cristiano Ronaldo fuming in the first period after failing to find him on a rare attack.

Tracked back well – although that’s not what he’s in the team for – and his frustration was on display for everyone when he blazed miles over from about 40 yards out.

Replaced late on after another night to forget.

BRUNO FERNANDES – 5

Wasteful in the first half with his corners and then smashed a free-kick straight up field to Jan Oblak.

That continued in the second half and his display was typified when he smashed the ball straight out for a goal kick with what was neither a cross or a shot shortly after the restart.

But it’s games like this when United need him most, and despite a forgettable evening, he showed great patience to brilliantly slide in Anthony Elanga for the equaliser.

JADON SANCHO – 5

Limited service all night but did plenty of running off the ball.

Starved throughout the contest before Jesse Lingard replaced him.

CRISTIANO RONALDO – 5

Barely touched the ball before dragging his first effort wide from distance on 36 minutes.

Got no service and no change out of the Atletico defence all night – much to the delight of the home supporters.

Blazed a free-kick over with ten to go.

SUBSTITUTES

ALEX TELLES (On 66 minutes) – 6

Slotted in well in place of Shaw. Booked for a foul on Marcos Llorente.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA (On 66 minutes) – 6

Did well when he came on to stop Atletico’s supply line down that side.

NEMANJA MATIC (On 66 minutes) – 6

Replaced Pogba to try and stop the Atletico midfield dominance and battled well.

ANTHONY ELANGA (On 75 minutes) – 8

The hero came off the bench to score for the second-straight game with his side’s first shot on target.

The Swedish forward kept his cool after being slid in by Fernandes to grab a vital away goal despite not hitting in cleanly. Top marks for the teen.

JESSE LINGARD (On 82 minutes) – 4

Replaced Sancho late on but had no chance to make an impact.
