Leicester City 2-2 Manchester United: Player Ratings from entertaining draw | Premier League 2020-21

Manchester United drew 2-2 with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, as their perfect away league record this season came to an end.

Marcus Rashford gave the Red Devils the lead in the first half with a calm finish past Kasper Schmeichel. United's lead didn't last long though.

Bruno Fernandes was caught dwelling on the ball in midfield by Wilfred Ndidi, before the ball eventually found its way through to Harvey Barnes who lashed a left-footed shot past David De Gea from outside the box.

Fernandes got his goal in the 79th minute though, after he was played through on goal by a beautiful pass from Edinson Cavani.

Once again, though, they didn't keep their lead for long, as an Axel Tuanzebe own goal meant that the points were shared. Ayoze Perez played a nice cut-back from the by-line, and Jamie Vardy's shot trickled in off the young defender, who could do little about it.

Here's how each player fared in the game.

Leicester City Player Ratings

Kasper Schmeichel - 7/10

The Leicester captain made a stunning save in the second half to deny Rashford from point-blank range. There was little he could've done about either goal, though.

James Justin - 6/10

Justin defended well for most of the game. However, he blew a few crossing opportunities when he got into good positions. Shaw defended well against both him and Albrighton.

Wesley Fofana - 7/10

Fofana was once again superb at the heart of the Leicester defence. He defended magnificently to stop Daniel James from putting Fernandes through on a counter-attack, in a move that really should have ended with United scoring.

Jonny Evans - 5/10

For both the Manchester United goals, Evans was the man to play the attackers onside. He also got caught once too often in possession, which put Leicester under pressure.

Timothy Castagne - 6/10

The left flank was certainly the one that was bringing Leicester more joy when they attacked. Castagne was the perfect foil for Barnes, as he was steady when the ball broke on that flank.

Wilfred Ndidi - 6/10

Ndidi had an effective game in midfield for most of the time against Fernandes. It was also his tackle on the Portuguese that won the ball for Leicester for Barnes to score their first equaliser.

Youri Tielemans - 7/10

That Leicester controlled possession for large periods of the game was down to Tielemans's composure and quality on the ball. He had a chance to win them the game in stoppage time, but lashed at a left-footed shot from outside the area.

Marc Albrighton - 4/10

Albrighton had a poor game. He did provide cover for Justin on the defensive side, but his quality with his crossing was non-existent.

James Maddison - 4/10

Like Albrighton, Maddison's quality deserted him on the day as well. He could've made amends with a free-kick in the second half, but couldn't get it past Rashford in the wall.

Harvey Barnes scored a superb goal for Leicester City

Harvey Barnes - 8/10

Barnes was superb on the left flank. He ran at Victor Lindelof when he had the chance, and was a menace. He capped his day off with a sensational goal from outside the box as well.

Jamie Vardy - 6/10

Vardy worked hard and tried to get into positions to threaten United, but Leicester didn't get the ball to him enough. He will also be miffed that the second equaliser was registered as a Tuanzebe own-goal. It was great movement from him though, as he stood still in the box to receive the cut-back from Perez.

Substitutes

Ayoze Perez - 7/10

Perez made a big impact after coming on to replace Albrighton. He played the telling pass for the second equaliser, and looked a lot more threatening than Albrighton did at any point of the game.

Manchester United Player Ratings

Marcus Rashford scored the opener for Manchester United

David De Gea - 5/10

There is an argument to be made that De Gea could've saved both goals, and more so the second one. The ball trickled towards goal after the deflection off Tuanzebe, but the Spaniard didn't even make a movement towards it.

Victor Lindelof - 5/10

Starting in an unfamiliar position at right-back, Lindelof really didn't have a happy time defending against the speed of Barnes. He eventually had to be taken off to be replaced by Tuanzebe in the second half.

Eric Bailly - 5/10

This was another performance from Bailly that had both good and bad. He should've gotten out quicker to block Barnes's shot for the first goal, and then been closer to Vardy for the second.

However, he did play the telling pass that broke the Leicester lines to find Cavani, who found Fernandes for Manchester United's second goal.

Harry Maguire - 6/10

Neither goal came through any fault of his, even though he found himself in an awkward clearing position just before the first Leicester goal. He will be miffed about letting the ball from Perez come into the box.

Luke Shaw - 7/10

Shaw had another very good game on the left flank. He should've had an assist in the first half, when Fernandes missed a great chance from his free-kick.

Fred - 7/10

That Maddison had no opportunities to create goal-scoring chances was down to Fred's persistence and his brilliant defensive play against the Englishman.

Scott McTominay - 6/10

After the high of the brace against Leeds United last weekend, this was a more subdued performance from McTominay. He did come out second best in the midfield battle against Tielemans.

Daniel James - 4/10

James had a couple of excellent opportunities to set up big Manchester United chances on the break but fluffed his lines both times.

Bruno Fernandes - 8/10

A goal and an assist, on just another day at work for Fernandes. He probably didn't mean the touch that took the ball to Rashford for the first goal, but his finish for the second goal was sublime.

Marcus Rashford - 6/10

Rashford really should have had a hat-trick. He missed a free header from point-blank range in the first half. In the second half, he should've given Schmeichel no chance to save after going through one-on-one. His goal was well taken though and was his 50th in the league for Manchester United.

Anthony Martial - 4/10

Martial was almost non-existent. He was brilliantly marshalled by Fofana.

Substitutes

Paul Pogba - 6/10

Pogba replaced James early in the second half, and played on the left wing. He didn't really have any impact though.

Axel Tuanzebe - 6/10

Even though the second Leicester equaliser was registered as a Tuanzebe own goal, it was through no fault of his.

Edinson Cavani - 7/10

This was another bright substitute's performance from Cavani. His movement to receive the pass from Bailly, and then the delicate through-ball to Fernandes were delightful.
