Player Ratings: Leeds United 0-0 Manchester United
Leeds United 0-0 Manchester United | Premier League
Despite an eventful week in football, the much anticipated War of the Roses failed to follow suit. Both sides displayed a lack of quality meaning the goalless draw is merited.
Dean Henderson: 6
Leeds’ lack of threat to Henderson’s net hints at the kind of game he had. He contributed more to the game offensively with his long passes.
Defence
Aaron Wan-Bissaka: 7
The right-back didn’t put a foot wrong all game. He was solid defensively with Jack Harrison unable to affect the game and going forward he was brighter than usual.

The Swede’s long balls in behind the Leeds high line provided some of the only real threats for Manchester United.
Harry Maguire: 6
A similar game to his centre back partner in that defensively he wasn’t really tested or stretched.
Luke Shaw: 7
A continuation of his consistent top form, his combination play with Rashford on that side was positive.
Midfield
Scott McTominay: 5
A poor game from McTominay in terms of playing forward and driving on the team. In the reverse fixture, he showed a willingness and desire to ensure his side could maintain pressure. He was a lot safer this time around.
Fred: 6
Fred failed to get a strong foothold in the game and the match passed him by in truth. His tackles did allow turnovers in possession but on the ball was poor.

Frustration summed up Fernandes’ game. Every decision he made seemed to be brewed by the anger of being man-marked all game. He had a couple of opportunities but they weren’t taken.
Attack
Marcus Rashford: 6
Looked bright on some occasions but didn’t involve himself too heavily in proceedings. His highlight was the free kick he struck in the first half.
Mason Greenwood: 7
By far United’s most threatening forward. Linked up the play well with his back to goal but the ball just didn’t drop for him to have a good effort on goal.

Displayed a real lack of quality. Disappointing considering his previous showing against Leeds.
