I thought the system left him rather exposed and he struggled at times, leaving them with an easy pass to the right in a dangerous position. Got very little help from his team-mates. Not too bad for a back-up player but really we need a genuine challenger to Luke Shaw.

Better than anything Shaw has served up this season
He was absolutely shit, they were literally walking into the penalty area from his side.
Wasn’t great but wasn’t awful either.
Reckon he would have done better with more game time this season
Probably would have benefited Shaw too

His side was easy to bypass but he's a good boy
Got next to no protection from Rashford.
Having Rashford in front of you does not provide much cover.
I noticed that, isolated in 2v1s situations and would be forced to engage the ball holder who would simply just pass to whoever overlapped beyond Telles.
overall was ok for a backup player.
He barely plays so you need to judge him on that expectation but he is so atheletically limited, he can't really hold his own without dedicated support.
He's not going to play lock down defence on 1 vs 1s and he's not going to carry the ball from deep. To top it off his passing is very inconsistent.
I'm being harsh but he's just about a 'decent' body on the field. He has a brillaint cross on him but it was largely ineffective on the corners today as it was all from an out swinging position.
Having said that, he does deserve some game time simply for rotation's sake.

Spot on. Always played against two players and considering that he did good job.
Thought he did well and better than anything Shaw offered this season, so should start.
Better. Growing in confidence, I’d like to see Telles get 2-3 more starts before we even think about bringing Shaw back.
Can't get by on being icandy alone. Atleast not for much longer.
Must improve.

Not done any worse than Shaw this season. Deserves to get a run in the side for now, even if it is just to inspire Shaw. I wonder if Ralf will favor Telles based on his comments on Shaw last year.
Very weak on the ball...would expect more PL game time to toughen him up although it’s done fuk all for Fred so who knows.
He did well IMO. Chelsea's right flank is a bastard to play against. He was having to mark Ziyech and James pretty much all alone with Rashford cheating as normal.
This little run of matches will do him the world of good.

I think he's a good player, but not confident at the moment. We bought him last season, hardly played him, so the games he's getting now are almost like him still feeling his way into the team. Once he gets a good run of games under his belt, I think we'll be pleasantly surprised by him. Deserves to keep his place for Arsenal and Palace.
I was going to say, he has an excellent head of hair.
Man Utd 3:2 Arsenal
Thought he was very poor again tonight , struggling to understand what he offers the team. Does nothing going forward and his positional sense is as bad as wan bassaka.
Man Utd 3:2 Arsenal
Thought he and Dalot did well despite being given a tough game by their forwards. Hopefully he/they will keep this up and scare Shaw and AWB into some form.
He miss times a lot of headers, doesn't he? I'm not sure why he's trying to go in so much centrally on crosses, when Maguire is already covering headers there. It at least happened 3 times that their winger got free inside the box on his side.
Otherwise quite ok.
Otherwise quite ok.
Left his man open at every other cross in the second half.
Good game. Deserves a run .
Solid game overall but some dodgy back post defending vs Saka a couple of times in the 2nd half
Love his attitude but he hasn't got it physically.
Deserves a run, as does Dalot. Neither have ever had the chance to get consistent runs in the side.
I don’t think he did well overall. Not convincing.
He's weirdly painful to watch
Better than the last game, still not good enough and he's very weak defending crosses.
Is he any slower than TAA, Chilwell or Digne? I doubt it. When he was rounded by Martinez, he still had pace enough to get back in and make a tackle. Not fast, but not slow either.
Normally he’s good in the air, so what was this game about in that regard?
I think he looks pretty slow, Martinelli very nearly skinned him in that 1v1, good tackle but desperate.
I can't help but like the guy, despite him not being a very good player.
Deserves more playing time tbh. Shaw and AWB are not un-droppable by any means, so use the squad more! and let Shaw have a rest when you can.
Not sure about Digne but yes, he's very one paced. TAA and Chilwell are quick
better than previous game. I think he needs a run of games to show his true worthless.
Martinelli is quite quick and easily ran away from both Fred and McTominay. The fact that Telles was able to catch up and make a tackle was good. When Shaw is skinned, he often just tucke inside letting the player run, even if he is much faster and stronger. I like his determination!
TAA isn’t wuick. He’s easily skinned, but he moves about nicely. Reminds me of Lingard.
He's no weight or strength to him though either. You need at least some physical presence or pace. One or the other. I really wish he did as his attitude is great.
When he gets a head of steam he's quick. Maybe his acceleration isn't great but when he gets into his stride he definately is. Telles is one paced
