Manchester United fans have expressed their anger and disappointment after the player ratings for EA Sports FC 24 were allegedly leaked online.
The leak, which was posted on X (Twitter) by an anonymous account, revealed the ratings for Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal players.
According to the leak, Manchester United only have two players rated over 85: Casemiro with 89 and Bruno Fernandes with 88. The Brazilian midfielder, who joined the club last season from Real Madrid, is the highest-rated player on the team, followed by the Portuguese playmaker, who has been given a 90 rating for his passing skills.
Many fans were unhappy with the ratings of some of the other players, especially Marcus Rashford, who is the highest-rated striker on the team with a rating of 85. The 25-year-old scored 30 goals across all competitions last year in what was his most successful season on a personal level. Despite his impressive performance, his rating has only increased by two points from 83 in FIFA 23.
Some fans also felt that new signing Rasmus Hojlund deserved a higher rating than 76, given his potential and his impact in his debut game against Arsenal. The young Danish forward, who joined from Atalanta, scored a goal and assisted another in a 3-1 win for the Red Devils. His rating has increased by five points from 71 in FIFA 23, but some fans argued that he should be at least 80.
Other players who received criticism for their ratings were Lisandro Martinez (81), Harry Maguire (81), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (80), Luke Shaw (80), and Anthony Martial (80).
Some fans felt that these players were underrated compared to their counterparts from Chelsea and Arsenal, who had higher ratings in some cases.
The leak has not been confirmed by EA Sports, who are expected to release the official player ratings soon. EA Sports FC 24 is set to come out on September 29 and will feature a new name and logo after EA decided not to renew its partnership with FIFA due to the high financial demands of the organisation.
EA Sports FC 24 is one of the most popular video games in the world and attracts millions of players every year. The player ratings are one of the most anticipated features of the game, as they reflect the abilities and performances of the players in real life. However, they also often spark debates and controversies among fans and players themselves, who may disagree with the ratings given by EA Sports.
