Manchester United and Sunderland played out a goalless draw in a match that left fans with mixed emotions. While the clean sheet was a positive, the lack of attacking spark raised questions about the squad's depth and decision-making. Here's how the players rated on a frustrating afternoon at Old Trafford.
Goalkeeper: 8/10
The standout performer of the day. Made several crucial saves and was the biggest reason United kept a clean sheet. Without his heroics, this could have been a very different result.
Defender: 5/10
Has looked rusty throughout the season. Clearly capable of more, but needs a consistent run of games to regain sharpness and confidence.
Defender: 7/10
A solid display with some last-ditch interventions that kept Sunderland at bay. Reliable for the most part, though not without a few nervy moments.
Defender: 6/10
Had some shaky moments that could have been costly, but ultimately the defense held firm. A performance that shows room for improvement.
Defender: 6/10
One worrying moment against Brobbey stood out, but otherwise looked comfortable. Needs to cut out the lapses in concentration.
Midfielder: 6/10
Didn't fully impose himself on the game, but showed more composure than in previous outings under Amorim. Still searching for that defining influence.
Midfielder: 7/10
Offered a consistent attacking threat, but couldn't turn that into clear-cut chances. A lively presence that deserved more support.
Midfielder: 7/10
Caused Sunderland's defense plenty of problems in the closing stages. His energy and directness were a bright spot in an otherwise flat performance.
Forward: 5/10
The story of his season continues: flashes of promise without decisive end product. Needs to find that killer instinct soon.
Forward: 4/10
Needed a big performance but failed to deliver. Looks increasingly like a player who won't be at the club next season.
Forward: 5/10
Provided some pace down the left flank but lacked quality in the final third. A frustrating outing for the winger.
Substitute: 5/10
Desperately needs to get on the scoresheet. Had a half-chance late on but couldn't convert. The pressure is mounting.
Manager: 6/10
Gave opportunities to squad players, but they failed to deliver. He'll take the point, but this wasn't a convincing performance. Valuable lessons learned about his squad's limitations.
