Standard Sport assesses the individual performances from Manchester United's 2-1 defeat to PSV at Philips Stadion.
Zoet - 8
The goalkeeper was forced to make several stops throughout the game, particularly in the first half, but dealt with all of his tests with confidence.
Arias - 4
The right-back struggled with Memphis’ pace down the flank and he was beaten by his former teammate several times. Received a yellow card for his foul on Young.
Bruma - 7
Made some good clearances to get rid of Mata and Young’s efforts, but could not stop Memphis in his tracks in the build-up to the opener.
Moreno - 5
The central defender made the horrific sliding tackle on Shaw that ended his game but worked well with Bruma in central defence.
Brenet - 6
Set up Narsingh for a good early chance and helped deal with the threat of Young.
Hendrix - 6
Worked hard in his defensive midfield position and dealt with United’s attacks with ease.
Propper - 7
Helped build up PSV’s attacks in the game with some key crosses to his teammates.
Guardado - 7
Was involved in the build-up to Narsingh’s goal and regularly combined with his teammates when PSV went on the attack. Limped off with an injury with 20 minutes to go but enjoyed a good game.
Narsingh - 8
Was flagged offside several times in the first half, but remained a threat for the home side on the right flank and eventually got his goal with a lovely header past De Gea.
Lestienne - 8
Got the assist for Narsingh’s goal after beating Darmian and firing a superb cross to the winger. Had earlier tried his luck in the first half but drove his effort into the side netting. Although he didn’t get on the score-sheet, the winger put in a fine showing.
De Jong - 5
Was quiet throughout the match, and didn’t really have any clear-cut chances - working more to help Lestienne and Narsingh go for goal than himself.
Manchester United
De Gea - 6
Conceded two goals but was let down by his defence and could not do too much to keep Blind’s header and Narsingh’s strike out.
Darmian - 4
Was beaten numerous times by Lestienne on the right flank, and was involved in a defensive mix-up with Smalling that gave away the corner kick that PSV equalised from – with the right-back being out-jumped by Moreno.
Smalling - 6
Suffered one moment of miscommunication with Darmian which led to him having to head the ball out for a corner, which PSV scored from. The defender tested Zoet with a powerful strike in first half, though.
Blind - 6
Was unfortunate to deflect Moreno’s header into the back of his own net, but did provide the ball that Memphis scored from. Started in central defence but shifted to left-back following Rojo’s introduction.
Shaw - 6
In his 15-minute appearance, the left-back made a superb run forwards in attack but was at the end of a horrific challenge by Moreno that cut his game short.
Rojo - 4
Slotted into central defence once Shaw came off and made a sloppy pass that allowed PSV to go on the attack from in the first half. He then couldn’t get his head to Lestienne’s cross that Narsingh scored the winner from.
Schweinsteiger - 4
Supplied a superb lofted through-ball to Mata with the score 2-1 but it was wasted by the Spaniard. Was otherwise ineffective.
Herrera - 5
Went for goal in the second half but endured a quiet game and was hauled off with 15 minutes to go.
Young - 5
Was often guilty of sending in several crosses into the area that failed to find anyone. His pace caused Brenet problems but, with no end product, Young was taken off towards the end of the second half for Antonio Valencia.
Dejected: Mata and MArtial react after falling a goal behind
Mata - 6
Provided some accurate balls to Memphis in the first period, but should have done better after being set up with a lovely ball by Schweinsteiger but failed to sort out his feet before Zoet collected the ball.
Memphis - 8
Scored the opener against his former side in the 40th minute and should have made it 2-0 but drove wide. The winger was a big threat for the visitors and his runs caused Arias many problems.
Martial - 7
Looked bright and dangerous up front but didn’t always get the service he needed.
Fellaini - 5
Could not prove the difference after being brought on in the second half.
