Manchester United escaped with a 2-2 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Red Devils led for most of the match, but conceded two late goals that appeared to have cost them the match.
Nevertheless, Matthijs de Ligt climbed highest in injury time after a corner and took a well-deserved draw.
De Ligt
The Peoples Person ran a poll to see who fans thought was the player of the match and the big Dutchman came out on top.
33% of fans voted for the centre-back, who has been in good form this season.
According to the official club website40% of fans also agreed that the former Bayern Munich defender was indeed the side’s best player on the day.
Bryan Mbeumo
The Cameroonian has consistently been one of the top performers for United this season and this was the case once again.
Mbeumo nodded in United’s opener in the first half, showing off his clinical finishing.
It was his sixth goal of the season and enough for 29% of United fans to vote for him as player of the match.
Senne Lammens
Fellow summer signing Lammens has also been impressive of late, making some fantastic saves to keep Spurs at bay earlier in the second half.
Unfortunately, he could do little to stop the home side’s goals, but United fans were certainly happy with what they saw as 19% of fans thought he was the best player.
Amad
The Ivorian started the season slowly, but has become increasingly important in the past month.
He scored a world-class equalizer against Nottingham Forest and provided a sumptuous assist for Mbeumo’s goal.
18% of fans thought Amad was the best player in a United shirt.
The best of the rest
Patrick Dorgu and Bruno Fernandes made up the remaining 1% of the votes.
