Manchester United player ratings vs West Ham as Willy Kambwala good and Antony poor
23.12.2023 - 15:37 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss to West Ham in the Premier League fixture.
Jarrod Bowen's 72nd-minute tap-in, created by Lucas Paqueta, opened the scoring and Mohammed Kudus sealed the win after a mistake by Kobbie Mainoo who lost the ball.
Erik ten Hag made three changes to his line-up with 19-year-old Willy Kambwala making his senior debut. He partnered Jonny Evans in central defence with Raphael Varane absent due to illness.
Christian Eriksen returned to the squad for the first time since injury. Our chief United writer Samuel Luckhurst was in the press box to cover the match and here are his player ratings.

Andre Onana
Repelled an early effort from Emerson but involved in a mix-up with Jonny Evans. Palmed away a Jarrod Bowen header and slightly unlucky with the goal. 6
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
An ideal foil for Willy Kambwala on the right-hand side on his return to the team. Defended well but did little in attack. 6
Willy Kambwala
Slotted in impressively and started confidently with an adventurous run. Not culpable for either goal. 6
Jonny Evans
His presence is arguably more important than ever in the absence of four senior centre halves. Did not narrow down the angle for Mohammed Kudus, though. 6
Luke Shaw
The best player on the pitch in the first half and so dominant in his duel with Kudus he drew a cynical foul. Could have been more alert to Bowen. 6
Scott McTominay
Dropped back into midfield and was tenacious against James Ward-Prowse and Tomas Soucek. Had no impact in the final third. 5
Kobbie Mainoo
Was enjoying another
