United started the second half brightly and Edinson Cavani rewarded their early endeavours with a 53rd minute strike.
Again, United had the running of another half but Paul Pogba's header over, from eight yards out, was the best they could manage. It meant a nervy injury time as Pau Torres curled over when well placed in the United box. (Man United 1-1 Villareal: After 90 minutes)
Did not get a sniff in the first half. Capoue hounded him all night. His shoot-out penalty was the best thing he could manage all night.
Scott McTominay - 8
Dragged an early effort wide. Blocked a goal-bound effort over the United bar. Forced a second half corner when his strike was deflected over. A ball of constructive energy all night. Drove his team forward.
Mason Greenwood - 7
Fizzed in one dangerous cross in the opening 45 minutes. Denied what looked to be a good penalty shout before Cavani's goal. Brought
Marcus Rashford - 5
United fans were crying out for him to take on the Villareal defenders. The one time he did it in the first half, he roasted his man and almost forced a goal. Restricted to one pop from distance in the first half. Like many of his teammates, upped the tempo after the break. His shot was deflected for Cavani's goal. Slotted his penalty well.
Edinson Cavani - 7
Poor touch in the box as he tried to tee up Rashford for a strike. Business picked up in the second half when he stroked home United's equaliser. Somehow got his head on a wayward Shaw strike but was blocked by a yellow jersey. Penalty in the shoot-out was excellent.
