#2 Flop: Victor Lindelof

United's defensive frailties have been magnified by Lindelof's inability to defend convincingly and again, this proved the case here. He was all over the place and Eric Bailly certainly must be wondering what he has to do, in order to regain his starting berth once more.

Unsurprisingly hooked after 55 minutes as Jose opted for a change in personnel and formation, it's fair to say the Sweden international has struggled in his attempts for consistency this term - so it'll be a surprise if he's not dropped.

His involvement in Yarmolenko's goal was particularly grim: attempting to half-hearted close down the Ukrainian winger, ultimately ended up deflecting his effort beyond a helpless David de Gea into the bottom corner to cap off a forgettable first 45 minutes. Displays like this make it easy to forget they made him the most expensive defender in the club's history last June.
