ANDRE ONANA was spared the blushes after a shocking display as Manchester United fought back to win against Viktoria Plzen.
The goalkeeper was at the forefront of most of the action in the Europa League clash, but not for the right reasons.

Onana, 28, started the game with a few sloppy attempts to clear crosses into the box.
In one instance, he almost knocked Casemiro out of the game with a reckless attempt, which left the midfielder on the floor.
Amad Diallo did impress in the attack as he was the only one not to be hooked while the team was losing.
And it was his run that led to Rasmus Hojlund netting the equaliser.
Bruno Fernandes also combined with Hojlund to find the winning goal for the Red Devils.
SunSport’s Henry Tomlinson has given his ratings of the Man United players…
Andre Onana – 4
It was a very shaky start to the game in which Onana hurt Casemiro and failed to deal with the host’s crosses convincingly.
He made a massive error that led to Plzen taking the lead with his poor pass, leaving his defenders with no chance of bailing him out.
Diogo Dalot 80′ – 6

Dalot made some decent runs forward to join in with the attacks.
Defensively was fairly solid and was not often caught out.
Noussair Mazraoui – 6
Playing a bit more central, Mazraoui used his pace well to help out at the back.
Matthijs de Ligt – 6
He was sold short by Onana’s pass that led to the opener but otherwise was fine during the 90 minutes.
Lisandro Martinez – 6
Made himself available when Man United got forward but struggled with the physicality of the Plzen attackers.
Tyrell Malacia 60′ – 6
He offered very little going forward in the wing-back role as he struggled to combine with Marcus Rashford.
Casemiro 80′ – 6
He moved the ball forward when he could and recovered from an early blow from Onana.
Bruno Fernandes – 7

He was lucky to have escaped an early yellow card. Stung the goalkeeper’s gloves in the first half with a good effort.
His quick thinking set up Rasmus Hojlund to fire in a late winner.
Amad Diallo – 8
Diallo was a rare bright spark in Man United’s attack against Plzen.
It was his run that led to the equaliser, and he used his pace and skill to get past his defender.
Marcus Rashford 55′ – 4
Rashford was often loose on the ball and surrendered possession in the attacking third.
He received the first booking of the game for a needless foul and was lucky not to be sent off in the second half before being hooked by Ruben Amorim.
Joshua Zirkzee 60′ – 6
Took on the centre-forward role well, held the ball up and linked up play well enough.
Subs
Rasmus Hojlund 55′ – 7
APRasmus Hojlund netted twice off the bench[/caption]
Hojlund showed his striker instincts by being in the right position to grab Man United’s equaliser.
He then latched onto Fernandes’ clever pass to score the winner.
Antony 60′ – 6
He was involved in the equaliser by linking up with Diallo.
Mason Mount 60′ – 7
Made a positive impact after coming on and was unlucky not to score as he was denied twice by the goalkeeper after coming into the action.
Alejandro Garnacho 80′ – N/A
Failed to make a positive impact on his short spell on the pitch.
Manuel Ugarte 80′ – N/A
He slotted into the midfield as he replaced Casemiro late on.
