Tottenham player ratings following their 1-1 Premier League draw with Manchester United. Dominic Solanke rescues a point, Sandro Tonali impresses and Rodrigo Bentancur sees red.

Tottenham Hotspur rescued a dramatic point against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday evening, with Dominic Solanke scoring a stoppage-time equaliser to earn Roberto De Zerbi's side a 1-1 draw despite finishing with ten men.

Here are my Tottenham player ratings from Old Trafford.

Starting XI

Antonín Kinský – 6.5

Related stories

The goalkeeper endured a relatively quiet opening half as Tottenham controlled significant periods of possession. Kinský was beaten by Mbeumo's second-half finish but otherwise provided a reasonable presence behind the defence. His distribution helped Spurs build attacks.

Archie Gray – 7.5

The young defender delivered an impressive performance, continuing to show his versatility and growing importance in De Zerbi's squad. Gray was disciplined defensively, comfortable receiving possession and willing to support Tottenham's attacking moves.

Jan Paul van Hecke – 6.5

The Dutch defender delivered a mixed performance against United's attacking players. Van Hecke helped with Tottenham's defensive organisation and was generally comfortable in possession. Should have been tighter to his man for the goal.

Marcos Senesi – 7.5

One of Tottenham's stronger defensive performers. His ability to defend aggressively while staying comfortable in possession helped Spurs establish control early.

Destiny Udogie – 7.0

Udogie provided width and attacking support down Tottenham's left flank, regularly looking to advance beyond the midfield. His pace gave Spurs another route into dangerous areas, though his final delivery did not always create clear chances. Replaced by Micky van de Ven after 74 minutes.

Sandro Tonali – 8.0

The Italian midfielder delivered an excellent display, demonstrating his passing range, technical quality, and ability to dictate possession. Tonali was central to Tottenham's midfield dominance. His excellent delivery for Solanke's stoppage-time equaliser proved decisive, making him Spurs' standout performer.

Lucas Bergvall – 6.5

The Swedish midfielder added energy to Tottenham's midfield dominance but struggled to consistently make an impact in advanced areas. Replaced by Rodrigo Bentancur after 66 minutes.

Mohammed Kudus – 6.5

A frustrating afternoon for the Ghana international, who showed glimpses of his attacking ability but failed to make the decisive final pass Tottenham needed. Replaced by Omar Marmoush in the 66th minute.

Conor Gallagher – 7.0

Gallagher delivered an energetic performance, regularly pressing opponents and trying to support Tottenham's attack. Booked after just four minutes, he had to stay disciplined throughout. His work rate and movement helped Spurs' promising first half, though he couldn't provide a decisive attacking moment. Replaced by James Maddison after 74 minutes.

Sávio – 7.5

The Brazilian winger was a lively attacking outlet, using his pace and technical ability to challenge United's defence. Sávio carried the ball into dangerous areas and contributed to Tottenham attack, but his final decisions need to be better

Dominic Solanke – 6.0

His performance ultimately delivered Tottenham's most important moment. Solanke missed opportunities earlier in the match and will have been disappointed not to put Spurs ahead during their stronger spells. However, his determination paid off in stoppage time when he headed Tonali's cross past Senne Lammens.

Substitutes

Rodrigo Bentancur – 4.0

The Uruguayan midfielder had a disastrous appearance. Bentancur was introduced in the 66th minute and lasted just 12 minutes before receiving a straight red card for violent conduct after an altercation with Luke Shaw.

Omar Marmoush – 6.0

Introduced alongside Bentancur after 66 minutes. The Egyptian tried to stretch United's defence and support Solanke, but struggled to make an impact during his time on the pitch.

James Maddison – 6.5

Maddison replaced Gallagher in the 74th minute, shortly before Tottenham were reduced to ten men. His introduction gave Spurs another creative option in midfield, though the numerical disadvantage limited his ability to dictate the game. Looked lively on the ball.

Micky van de Ven – 6.0

Introduced for Udogie in the 74th minute and played at left-back; once down to 10 men, he was moved into a back 3, showing his defensive versatility.

Mateus Fernandes – N/A

Introduced in the 89th minute to replace Senesi. The midfielder had insufficient time to make a meaningful impact.

Man Utd Starting XI: Lammens, Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Bruno Fernandes (c), Cunha, Yoro, Amad Diallo, Tielemans, Mbeuma, Shaw, Mainoo.

Substitutes: Darlow, Dalot, Mount, Rashford, Zirkzee, Andrey Santos, Baleba, Heaven, Lacey.
