Manchester United were frustrated at Old Trafford for the second week in a row after they were held to a 1-1 draw with Everton in Saturday's lunch time kick-off.

The Red Devils looked like they were going to bounce back from last week's 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa with a victory, after Anthony Martial gave them the lead. But Andros Townsend found the net in the second-half to disappoint the home crowd.

On an afternoon where United again dropped points, Sportsmail's Ian Whittell gives his verdict on all the players from the Premier League clash.

MAN UNITED (4-2-3-1)

David de Gea 7

Busy without having to perform too many outstanding saves but his best, from Gray’s long shot, showed he is back to his peak form. Little chance with the equaliser.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka 5

Fantastic early cross laid a sitter on for Martial but his defensive work left a lot to be desired and was pulled out of position too easily.

Raphael Varane 7

Looks a less solid proposition without the injured Maguire alongside him but still showed great positional sense. In the right place at the right time so often.

Victor Lindelof 6

Made a couple of important blocks but looked susceptible to the pace of Gray when he cut in to attack him. Solid enough, though.

Luke Shaw 5

Back from injury but not yet back to his best and lots of Everton’s most threatening attacks, and most dangerous crosses, came down his left flank.

Scott McTominay 7

Strong performance from the Scot whose use of the ball was simple but effective while showing great defensive discipline.

Fred 5

Much-criticised holding midfielder did a good enough job of tracking back with Everton’s pacy midfielder runners but was brushed off the ball far too easily for the equaliser.

Mason Greenwood 8

Young winger continued his strong start to the season with his imaginative, confident and unpredictable play United’s strongest attacking asset. Produced some great crosses.

Bruno Fernandes 7

Yet another great assist from the Portuguese star who showed that, even on days like this when he is not at his sparking best, he is still a vital performer.

Anthony Martial 7

Missed a good early header but showed
