Scott McTominay was absolutely wretched against Brighton – but somehow the Man Utd midfielder is spared a place in the worst XI from the Premier League weekend.
Here, in 4-4-2 formation, is the worst XI according to Whoscored’s ratings…
GK: Alisson – 5.79
It’s hard to think of much that Alisson got wrong at Craven Cottage. He was badly exposed by awful defending for both of Fulham’s goals and is most likely damned by a lack of activity, having made only one other save while claiming no crosses. There were certainly other Liverpool players more deserving of a place in this XI than the Brazil keeper.
RB: Aaron Hickey – 5.95
Not the debut the Brentford right-back might have wished for. At Leicester, Hickey offered not a tackle, block or clearance, making only one interception. He lost all but one of his six duels while, going forward, his only cross found a Fox, as did more than half of his seven long passes.
CB: Diego Carlos – 5.65
Another debutant who endured a difficult first taste of the Premier League, Villa’s £26million centre-back won none of his three aerial duels and lost possession 20 times.

CB: Marc Guehi – 5.49
The Palace’s defender’s most obvious aberration was the late own goal which put Arsenal out of sight, a clumsy duck of the head to glance Bukayo Saka’s cross past his own keeper despite no Arsenal player standing within 10 yards. But Guehi looked rusty throughout, losing all but one of his seven duels.
LB: Yan Valery – 5.74
There were no left-backs who really stunk the place out this weekend and we feel obliged to include a Saints defender after they shipped four at Spurs. So Valery shifts across to the left having somehow sucked more than Mohammed Salisu.
DM: Fred – 5.86
According to WhoScored’s ratings, Fred was worse than McTominay, though the more casual observers among us would have had difficulty distinguishing between the two turds in Man Utd’s midfield against Brighton. Fred lost all four of his duels, was dribbled past twice and lost possession nine times. McTominay was even more generous, giving Brighton the ball on a dozen occasions and completing only 18 passes while hiding in United’s engine room.
AM: Manuel Lanzini – 5.84
Ex-Hammer Jesse Lingard was in contention with a 5.98 rating on his Forest debut but Lanzini gets the nod after offering, well, very little prior to being replaced…
