A look across the leagues for performances of the on-loan reds
Action has been light on our side in the past few weeks, due to cup action. Our win over Everton was the first in almost two weeks. Other reds players have been busier though. Here is an update on how they got on.
Europe
Here is where some of the higher profile stars that are seeking paths elsewhere.
Marcus Rashford was back in the matchday squad as Barcelona swept aside Villarreal 4-1 at Camp Nou. He came off the bench in the 73rd minute. He had one effort on goal in that time. Lamine Yamal landed a hat-trick in the game. It has been reported that the Catalan club have decided to take up the option of his €30M clause.
Rasmus Hojlund played the full 90 minutes as Napoli won 2-1 at Verona in the final minute. He scored in the 2nd minute to put his side ahead. He also forced the home keeper into another side as they tried to extend their lead. Another former Utd striker, Romalu Lukaku, got the winning goal in the 96th minute.
Andre Onana’s Trapzonspor side stayed third in the standings as they beat Fatih Karagumruk at home on Friday. He conceded an equaliser in the 28th minute but his side went on to win 3-1. Paul Onuachu was they key man as he scored for a record sixth game in a row for a foreign player in the league.
Lausanne slipped to yet another defeat on Sunday. Sekou Kone made his first start for the club but was subbed off at half-time. Enzo Kana-Biyik came off the bench but was unable to make much impact in his eight minutes on the pitch.
Premier League
Jadon Sancho came off the bench yet again as Aston Villa struggled to a 1-1 home draw with Leeds United. It was his corner that led to the equaliser from Tammy Abraham though. They were shocked by Wolverhampton Wanderers tonight 2-0. He started the game and was subbed off after an hour. He had no shots or assists in that time.
SPL
Jacob Devaney was an unused substitute as St. Mirren drew at bottom side Livingston. A result that does not do much for either of the struggling sides.
Ethan Williams came off the bench as Falkirk brushed aside Kilmarnock at The Falkirk Stadium. He helped created one chance in the 15 minutes he was on the pitch as they won 5-1.
EFL
Harry Amass remains out injured at Norwich City. He has returned to Old Trafford for checks on his hamstring damage.
Radek Vitek’s Bristol City slipped to their third home defeat in a row on Friday to drop them out of the playoff places. Visitors, Watford, scored with just over ten minutes to go to claim all three points in a 2-1 win. They leapfrogged the home side in the process.
Toby Collyer was left out of the matchday squad for Hull City’s win at Portsmouth. They keep in the playoff shakeup.
Ethan Wheatley started up front for Bradford City. They were winning at Reading until Reading scored twice in injury time to claim all three points. He came off in the 65th minute when they away side looked to be comfortable.
Gabriele Biancheri was left on the bench as Rotherham Utd claimed a valuable 1-0 win over Plymouth Argyle. Dan Gore did come off the bench and had an effort go just over the bar.
James Scanlon did not come off the bench for Swindon at home to struggling Bristol Rovers. They fall further behind the automatic promotion places.
Ethan Ennis played the full 90 as Fleetwood drew 0-0 with bottom placed Newport County. He had four shots with two on target in the game.
It is clear to see that some are performing better than others at the moment.
