Man Utd player ratings: Scott McTominay best player on pitch once again… but Bruno Fernandes a peripheral figure
SCOTT MCTOMINAY’S performance stood out as Manchester United dramatically reached the FA Cup semi-finals.
The midfielder opened the scoring as the Red Devils beat Liverpool in extra-time after a seven-goal thriller at Old Trafford.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Marcus Rashford, who equalised during the additional 30 minutes, also stood out for the home side.
Meanwhile, both Antony and Amad Diallo made a difference off the bench.
Here is how SunSport’s Neil Custis rated the United players.
Andre Onana – 6
It would be a bit harsh to blame him for any of the goals conceded, two of which came from a deflection. Made some good saves.
Diogo Dalot – 5
It was too easy for Liverpool to get down his flank. They seemed to have pinpointed him as a weak spot.
Victor Lindelof – 6
Surprisingly kept his place ahead of the fit again Harry Maguire who you sense would have coped better as late confusion ensued in the first-half. Switched to full-back when Maguire came on midway through second-half.

Raphael Varane – 6
For all his experience he just does not do enough to organise the back four. Looks like he is seeing out his time at Old Trafford.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 8
Back from injury and picked in the left back spot. Showed what United have been missing in terms of his link up play with the midfield and attack.
Scott McTominay – 8
United’s best player on the pitch. Getting stuck in all over the park and showing his goalscoring instinct to nab his ninth of the season.
Kobbie Mainoo – 7
Right that Gareth Southgate gives him more time to shine before picking him for England. But a brilliant piece of skill as he skirted past two Liverpool players to help set up a first half chance again showcased his talent.
Alejandro Garnacho – 7
Once again United’s most dangerous player on the pitch. Speed, trickery, an eye for a shot and fierce determination. Very good first half, and drove forward to force the chance that Antony took for the equaliser in the second.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
He simply should not go down under that challenge from Joe Gomez which lead to Liverpool’s second goal. He moaned his way into the referee’s book because of it and could have gone off with a second yellow after a foul on Szoboszlai. A peripheral figure.
Marcus Rashford – 7
What a swing of emotions. Having missed the chance to win the game in the last moment of normal time he kept his head up to grab the equaliser.
Rasmus Hojlund – 5
A bit rusty after four games out. Didn’t get a chance in front of goal and subbed for Antony.

SUBS
Antony (for Hojlund 71) – 7
What a much needed moment this was for him. Just a sub again but came on and got the equaliser three minutes from time.
Harry Maguire (for Wan-Bissaka 71) – 7
Looked a steady presence when he came on.
Christian Eriksen (for Mainoo 80) – 6
Strange decision this one as Mainoo was having a good game.
Amad Diallo (for Varane 85) – 8
Very unlucky to be sent off for a second yellow for taking his shirt of after scoring.
Mason Mount (for Lindelof 105) – 6
On for his first action since November but did not influence proceedings.
