FA Cup 2017/18: Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United, Player Ratings

Romelu Lukaku took his chances exceptionally well.

Manchester United

Sergio Romera - 6.5/10

Certainly the busier goalkeeper off the two tonight but did what he had to do with a calm composure. Some of his kicks were ridiculously wayward, almost comical, really.

Luke Shaw - 7/10

Far from the kind of player he was whilst at Southampton but is slowly getting his pace and his timing back. Very useful minutes under his belt tonight.

Victor Lindelof - 7/10

Not the cool cucumber you want in the heart of your defence but did his job when called into it. Strong and worked well to thwart any danger ahead of him.

Chris Smalling - 7.5/10

A good display from Chris Smalling tonight, unlike some of his recent performances. His leadership quality at the back is key to United defending well.

Ashley Young - 7/10

Seems to have dropped off a little in terms of his performances from earlier in the year but still solid both in defence and in attack.

Nemanja Matic - 7.5/10

Had lesser strain on his passing and positioning given his midfield partner but did well in the middle stealing the ball and earning free kicks. Looks comfortable with another sitter beside him.

Michael Carrick - 7.5/10

Great to see him start a game for United again and proved why he's still one of their most important players with accurate passes and safe plays.

Scott McTominay - 7/10

Made a few errors in the game but you want these youngsters to make those kinds of errors: it only broods them for the future. Seems like a decent lad in the making.

Alexis Sanchez - 7/10

Invisible the first half. Invisible the second half - barring that sweet, sweet assist.

Juan Mata - 7.5/10

His goal was so close, it's incredible he didn't get the benefit of the doubt but nonetheless, put in another Mata-esque performance of skill, consistency and class.

Romelu Lukaku - 8.5/10

Had two chances created for him, took them both with aplomb. A proper out-and-out striker who's strong, fast and a good finisher. He can only get better.

Substitutes

Anthony Martial - 6.5/10

Came on for Sanchez in the second half and didn't really contribute much to his side's performance.

Jesse Lingard - 6.5/10

Didn't have much time for him to do what he does best: disrupt.

Eric Bailly - NA/10

Back from his injury and did well for those few seconds screaming and shouting and pointing his finger. Top draw.
