Man Utd player ratings: Martinez red-carded as sluggish Reds crash at home to Leeds

Manchester United crashed to defeat at home to Leeds 2-1 where they paid the price for a very docile first half lacking in energy or rhythm.

The visitors had a two-goal advantage at half-time after a brace from Noah Okafor, and it got worse for United in the second half.

Lisandro Martinez was shown a straight red card for violent conduct - with VAR harshly picking out a slight hair tug on Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Casemiro scored a header in the 69th minute to give hope of a comeback but they couldn't muster a second.

Senne Lammens

Made a strong save with his legs to deny Dominic Calvert-Lewin from point-blank range within the first few minutes, but he could do nothing about Leeds' goals. 6

Noussair Mazraoui

Spent the first half of the season playing as a right-sided centre-back and hasn't looked his best since playing as a natural right-back. Did not look comfortable and was eventually replaced. 4

Lisandro Martinez

Looked short of match practice and attempted a shocking pass for Leeds' second goal before making a great recovery on the stroke of half-time. Then he was sent off. It was a soft decision. 4

Leny Yoro

He has yet to prove himself at the back for United with his positioning at times caught out and his lack of pace. 5

Luke Shaw

Was shown a booking at the start of the first half, forcing him to defend conservatively for a large chunk of the game. Was better than Mazraoui on the opposite side and did as well as could be expected without much support. 5

Casemiro

Didn't provide much defensive cover in a disappointing first half, but he scored his eighth goal of the season to give United hope of getting a point. Has just three more games to play at Old Trafford, and his aerial presence will be missed. 7

Manuel Ugarte

Ugarte is often the player picked out by United fans when the team is doing badly. His style of play appears sluggish but in the second he tried to keep the balance in midfield.

Bruno Fernandes

Fernandes looked frustrated from the outset and tried to get on the ball as much as possible, with varying success. However, he played a wonderful cross into the box for Casemiro's goal to make it 2-1. 6

Amad

Looked the most likely to score for large parts of the game. Forced the first save from Darlow and tested Leeds with a decent corner, which led to Casemiro's goal. 6

Matheus Cunha

Was booked for diving but came within inches of scoring in the 35th minute. Helped to whip up the crowd when he latched onto a pass from Shaw to shoot in the second half. Didn't stop running. 6

Benjamin Sesko

Didn't offer much at all throughout the first half, but came close to scoring at the Stretford End when play resumed after the interval, when his looped effort was headed away from the goal line. Almost scored with a header in the 84th minute. 5

Subs

Bryan Mbeumo

Looked dangerous when he got on the ball but lacked an end product. 6

Diogo Dalot

An improvement on Mazraoui. 6
