Victor Lindelof: 8

One of his best United performances. Showed determination and made good interventions.

Chris Smalling: 6

Another decent performance by Smalling. He looked ensured alongside Lindelof.

Ashley Young: 7

Was a lot busier down the left in defence as well as attack. Looked convincing, and a shoutout to England manager for a reserved berth in the World Cup.

Looked composed in midfield and passed the ball well.

Was influential in getting into good pockets and influencing the attack. Unlucky not to score.

Set up Alexis Sanchez’s goal and linked up very well with his fellow forward players.

Alexis Sanchez: 9

A real solid performance from the Chilean. Set up Lukaku brilliantly before latching on to Lingard’s through ball to score one himself.

Romelu Lukaku: 9

Was the best player on the pitch. Scored an important goal besides being very confident on the ball.

A return after injury for Herrera. He did fine in the midfield, and kept the shape.

Did not have any major impact after coming on right at the 91st minute.
