Seems the ratings of Martial and Rashford has been mixed up...
Rashford was looking like he had lost all talent or at least caught a very bad case of Covid-19 just in time for the game. It truly is one of the worst performances I have ever seen up until the 85th minute. How on earth has he ended up with a 7.6 rating? Because he scored a winner? He probably should've scored three more before that.
And Martial, our star in the attack, who did not have his best game, yet outclassed PSG's defense. He got us a pen and was a real danger throughout the entire game. He got unlucky with the own-goal and it shouldn't affect his rating that much.
I have to admit, when I saw the starting eleven for this game I just laughed and thought that this would be Ole's last game. Fred and McTominay starting ahead of Van de Beek, Rashford playing on the right and Tuanzebe getting his first start and alongside Lindelof out of all people. Then playing Telles and Shaw at the same time seemed absolutely barking but everything just clicked. Not sure how much of the glory Ole deserves but all of these players who have been severely underperforming in the PL went out there and put in one of the most professional performances since the Fergie days. Sure, this PSG side was pretty poor but the way we have been performing this season I thought they would steamroll right over us. And while they had a bunch of injuries they still had their world-class front three. Not to mention that our biggest stars and contributors, Rashford and Fernandes, weren't playing at their best. The rest really showed us why they're players at this club in the first place.
Anyway here are my ratings from this terrific game:
De Gea - 8/10 - Old Dave is back. Another class performance.
Wan-Bissaka - 9/10 - He had some trouble getting past the PSG defense but other than that world class performance.
Tuanzebe - 9/10 - Oh, how we've waited for this. How we began to give up. Yet here he is. The answer.
Lindelof - 7/10 - Nothing spectacular, but he didn't put a foot wrong. Solid.
Shaw - 7/10 - Kind of the same as Lindelof. Worked surprisingly well alongside Telles.
Telles - 7/10 - Great debut. Those crosses had me licking my lips. Looking forward to see more.
McTominay - 6/10 - Shaky start, and boy did he have his hands full, but he came out on top. Really grew with the task.
Fernandes - 7/10 - Not his best game but he was still the brain behind everything. The heart of the team.
Fred - 9/10 - Didn't put a foot wrong. Won balls, started attacks. Ate up the PSG midfield.
Rashford - 3/10 - Like I said, one of the worst performances I've ever seen. If not for the goal, I'd give him 1/10.
Martial - 6/10 - When Rashford didn't show up, Martial had to do all the offensive work and he did it very well.

Pogba - 6/10 - Looked really rusty and insecure but really got into it eventually.
