Andre Onana (6/10)
Andre Onana might have done more to discourage Morris. His footwork relieved the pressure and helped slow down the game.
Diogo Dalot (5/10)
Diogo Dalot failed to handle Alfie Doughty for extended periods of time and ruined an opportunity for a one-on-one with Thomas Kaminski.
Harry Maguire (5/10)
Harry Maguire struggled a little bit in his match against Luton. He might have been booked long before he got yellow for being late to multiple tackles and was taken off as a precaution at halftime.
Raphael Varane (8/10)
The finest defender for United at Kenilworth Road was Raphael Varane, who headed away several crosses from Luton.
Luke Shaw (6/10)

Kobbie Mainoo (8/10)

Rasmus Hojlund (9/10)
