Manchester United's player ratings on EA FC 26 have been leaked online.
Ruben Amorim's side finished in 15th in the Premier League last season and lost to Spurs in the Europa League final.
They haven't won any of their opening three games this season, suffering Carabao Cup humiliation when they were knocked out of the second round on penalties by League Two side Grimsby Town on Wednesday.

It won't come as a major surprise, therefore, to find out that a number of United players have received downgrades to their EA FC 25 cards, according to Twitter account EA FC 26 leaks.
But what has come as a surprise to United fans is some of the individual players' ratings.
Amad Diallo, who was one of United's rare bright sparks in an otherwise dire season, has received an upgrade of four points but is still rated lower than Jadon Sancho (80) and Antony (81), who are both in United's 'bomb squad' of players that are available for transfer.

Tyrell Malacia, who is also part of the 'bomb squad', has only dropped by one overall point to 75, making him a higher rating than his effective replacement Patrick Dorgu (74).
Diogo Dalot has dropped by three to 79 after a poor season, with Luke Shaw (also 79 down from 82), Andre Onana (80 down from 83) and Alejandro Garnacho (77 down from 79) have also been downgraded.
The 'accolade' of biggest downgrade, though, belongs to Casemiro, who was 84-rated in EA FC 25 but is now at just 80 overall with 36 pace.
Captain Bruno Fernandes has kept his 87 rating from EA FC 25 to remain as United's highest-rated player, with new signing Bryan Mbeumo now at 85 based off his Brentford performances.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "How can a team that finished [15th] get this?"
A second said: "That's generous of EA they should be a lot lower."

A third added: "Yoro, Amad, Mainoo are a joke, all three should be well over 80."
And a fourth stated: "Malacia above Dorgu makes zero sense."
