Really poor

At fault on 2 goals.

Needs to up his game
 
He’s another one that really needs to have a look at himself. What was he doing with that goal seriously? He may have thought it was going wide but he couldn’t have been 100% sure, so go and clear it man!

He’s really disappointed me since his brilliant first season. He’s one I wouldn’t be sad to see leave to be honest.
 
You have to wonder if that injury has taken a bit out of him physically.

Lost a bit of his acceleration and spring maybe?

Maybe, but shouldn't affect him mentally. Ridiculous to let the third goal roll past him, where was the safety first approach. One of a number of players who do not do the basics well.

Just totally misjudged it I guess.
 
He's been really poor.

I think he needs moving on, doesn't fit this system.

But then again, not many of our defenders do.

As much as I like Amorim, you've got to question his arrival considering there is no money to change the squad to suit him.
 
Think he deserves a little bit more time after such a bad injury but it's a concern.
 
Martinez was poor again. His form is well short of the required standard, it’s an increasing worry. I’d like to see Evans start as the left centre back for the next few games if his body is can manage two games in a short period.

With Shaw’s availability issues and Martinez’s form, United will need to sign a left sided centre back in the summer.
 
He used to throw himself at strikers as they took a shot to block it now he just watches it happen.
 
I think he’s lost a yard of pace he doesn’t get to the problem as early as he used to.

Got to give him a bit of time but if De Ligt is recovered from illness could slot Maguire in as the left centre back for a bit. He’s played that role for England for years.
 
Poor on both goals should be dropped for the next game
 
Been in poor form for the last month or so. His body language seems to indicate his heart is no longer in fighting for the cause.
 
Just looks like his confidence has gone, it happens best to take him out for a bit and hopefully get his head right.
 
Been dreadful for a long time now. His positional play has gone to pot and any positives he used to possess have all but gone. Another one I wouldn’t be sad to see cut loose.
 
Only United could buy a centre half dwarf the notion that he`s good in the air for his size is a myth, I`d try him in midfield now nothing to lose.

That's not a bad shout. Put him alongside Ugarte, there would be some bite in midfield.
 
If he can’t play well in his own position why put him somewhere else.

He’s miles off his best drop him
 
He’s making basic mistakes. Getting caught out or getting the wrong side of players. So far this year he’s been amongst your worst players.
 
His form doesn’t warrant a place in the team, I don’t like the idea of playing in midfield, he doesn’t have the legs to get up and down the pitch.

It’s a shame Shaw is constantly injured and Evans is the only other who can naturally play left centre back. I’d like to see Yoro and Evans rotate for the remainder of the season.

Casemiro and Eriksen dont have ANY legs but get selected because we are woefully short in that area.

I agree Martinez is not a centre mid not the time to be learning a new position.

Maguire played that position for years under Southgate or should I say Sir Gareth.

He’s the one I’d put out there stick De Ligt in the middle and Yoro right.
 
Harsh to call him a balls up.

Good player got a bad injury and hasn’t been the same since. Happens to a lot of players.

Hopefully it’s not permanent and he gets back to his best as we can’t keep throwing money at centre backs.
 
He doesn't look interested or committed enough, and that's been a real problem for years. Those two headers last night he should have won.
Bought the wrong players.
99% need shipping out.
 
I was definitely on the we should drop him bandwagon but credit to him today, he played well and his goal was a real thumper.

He’s at his best when he’s aggressive in all of his play but I have felt lately he’s been too timid. However today he was really aggressive in moving into the midfield which really helped the team.

Needs to back this performance up now, which can be said for the team as a whole.
 
Was fouled in what led to their throw in. Should have made more of it.

But what a finish. Finished it like he was a striker. Also to keep himself onside was intelligent.

I thought he was up there with Bruno and Ugarte for motm.
 
He looked injured and played as a striker in the final stages of extra time. Any word on the injury he sustained?

I think it was just tactics, he looked quite mobile to me, Arsenal were pumping high balls into the area, heading isn't exactly his strong point!
