Altay Bayindir
Palmed James Garner’s free kick back into harm’s way and was let off when Everton struck the post on the rebound. Wholly unconvincing again. 5
Leny Yoro
Only one of three players to start all three tour games, Yoro played on the front foot again and looked to pick a pass. 7
Matthijs de Ligt
Defended solidly in the middle and seems set to start the season over Harry Maguire. Stayed on for nearly the full duration. 6
Luke Shaw
Had more hassle than against Bournemouth as United failed to have as much control against Everton. Came off less than an hour in. 6
Amad
Back on the right wing and supplemented the attack effectively. Won the penalty that Bruno Fernandes scored. Moved further forward for the second half. 6
Manuel Ugarte
From dominant against West Ham to dominated by Everton. Robbed of the ball when trying to dribble out of defence and seconds later Everton equalised. 5
Kobbie Mainoo
Took up promising positions off the ball but struggled to effect the play with the ball. Made way for Mason Mount, which was a tad damning. 5
Diogo Dalot
Filled in on the left wing. Put in a good tackle to deny Beto and hurt himself. Switched back to the right when Bryan Mbeumo went off at half-time. 6
Bryan Mbeumo
Drew ‘ooh’s with his first two touches, had a key role in the play leading up to the penalty and quickly developed connections with Matheus Cunha and Bruno Fernandes. His withdrawal was pre-planned. 7
Bruno Fernandes
Accelerated attacks and coolly converted another penalty before he switched off for Iliman Ndiyaye’s equaliser. Dropped back to midfield and did well for Mason Mount’s goal. 7
Matheus Cunha
Played as the false nine and connected well in the move that led to the penalty but his tendency to drop deep deprived United of a focal point. 6
Subs
Patrick Dorgu
Replaced Mbeumo and offered natural width. 6
Harry Maguire
Been cheered loudly all tour and this was the loudest. Important tackle on Beto. 7
Ayden Heaven
Lucklessly scored an own goal. 5
Mason Mount
Scored a lovely goal reminiscent of his first against Athletic Bilbao. 8
Casemiro
Did not settle into the flow of the game. 5
Rasmus Hojlund
Came on for the final 20 minutes. 5
Tyler Fredricson
Late cameo. N/A
