#3 Flop: Alex Sandro

Was a danger going forward with his overlapping runs and probing crosses into the box, but crucially suspect defensively. It's one of his biggest weaknesses against top sides and was on display again here - especially once Rashford was introduced into the fray.

As the match wore on, his level of press continued to lessen and he allowed the United players enough opportunity to either beat him, or whip crosses into a dangerous area. Ashley Young was getting some joy down his side and Chiellini was forced into making a few clearances, stepping up while the Brazilian appeared to just be ball-watching.

United's second goal was an unfortunate one to concede - but equally poor from the hosts' perspective. Ashley Young's delivery into the box was an inviting one but players watched as the ball swerved across the face of goal and Szczesny's feeble attempt at pushing it away to safety had the opposite effect.

The ball ricocheted off Bonucci, hit Sandro and trickled in at the far post - a horrible way to relinquish all three points during a match Juventus really should have won.
