From the best (Bruno Fernandes) to the worst (Rasmus Hojlund), Manchester United players made an impact on the group stage at the Euros. Below, we rate how each of the players did.

Bruno Fernandes: 9

Bruno Fernandes was excellent in his two group-stage matches. He scored once, with the assist coming from United legend Cristiano Ronaldo, and averaged a key pass per game.

Fernandes, like at club level, is the driving force behind Portugal’s attacks. He creates, he connects, and he scores. He is a major reason why Portugal will believe that they can challenge for the title this year.

The United captain got a rest in the last group match against Georgia and will be fresh for the coming rounds.

Christian Eriksen:8

In Denmark’s first match of the group stage, Christian Eriksen provided the moment of the tournament when he scored 1,100 days after going into cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 (played in 2021 due to Covid-19).

According to Sofascore’s ratings, Christian Eriksen finished the group stage with an average rating of 7.87. He only had one goal involvement but was excellent at connecting play, retaining possession, and averaged 3.3 shots per game.

Look for Eriksen to be a driving force if Denmark has a run late into the tournament.

Scott McTominay: 6

Scotland crashed out of the Euros with just one point, but McTominay performed well for his nation. The Great Scott has been somewhat of a catalyst for this team over the past couple of years, and he added to his goal tally with one against Switzerland.

The 27-year-old may be on his way out of Old Trafford this summer, but he can be proud of his play at this edition of the Euros.

Kobbie Mainoo: 6

Kobbie Mainoo played less than 60 group stage minutes but has given Gareth Southgate a lot to think about heading into the next round. England are limping out of the group stage after inconsistent performances and blunt attacks.

Mainoo came on against Slovenia at halftime and gave the Three Lions something different in that midfield position. His 97% passing accuracy shows he can keep the ball well, and he is a willing runner in the middle of the park.

After rotating Declan Rice’s midfield partner, 19-year-old Mainoo should get his chance in the next match.

Diogo Dalot: 5

Diogo Dalot was decent in Portugal’s win over Czechia but was substituted after 63 minutes. He then was left out of the 3-0 victory over Turkey and played in Portugal’s final group-stage match against Georgia. It has been an interesting start to the Euros for a player who was one of the best at his position this season.

One area Dalot will want to show on the world stage going forward is his creativity. Manchester United fans were privy to it this season as he scored twice and assisted three in the Premier League. Outside of one incredible effort that was saved in the top corner against Georgia, Dalot was not able to create much for himself or his team out of the back.

Diogo Dalot is a top-quality attacking full-back and should have more opportunities to show his abilities as Portugal pushes on in the tournament.

Altay Bayindir: 3

Turkish manager Vincenzo Montella gave Altay Bayindir an opportunity in the second match against Portugal when starter Mert Gunok was deemed unavailable. It did not go well.

Bayindir made just one save in his 90 minutes of group-stage football and conceded three, including one to United teammate Bruno Fernandes. The poor performance from him and his back line was epitomized by a miscommunication that led to an own goal from Samet Akaydin.

The 26-year-old’s lack of football this season likely contributed to his poor performance for his country. He had only played 180 minutes since January before he was thrown into the fire against Portugal.

Rasmus Hojlund: 3

Rasmus Hojlund will be incredibly disappointed with the way the group stage went. In three games as the starting number nine, he managed less than a shot per game and missed his one big chance.

One criticism of the 21-year-old striker at United was the low number of shots he took per game, and that issue seems to have followed him to the Euros. As Hojlund develops, he will need to take more shots and trust his ability to find the back of the net.

Luckily for Hojlund, he should have more opportunities in the knockout rounds to redeem himself.

Luke Shaw: N/A

While Luke Shaw remains with the Three Lions, he has yet to make his first Euros appearance. He returned to training ahead of the Slovenia draw but was not ready to return to action. After injuries ended his club season early, Shaw has already missed the first three Euros matches. If he fails to make an appearance, Gareth Southgate will come under fire for bringing an injured player over others who were left behind.

Which of the remaining Manchester United players will make the biggest impact in the knockout stages?
