(A score of 6 is about average.)
David De Gea – 6.5 – Not tested much.
Diogo Dalot – 8 – Another solid display from the 23-year-old who continues to improve with each game.
Raphael Varane – 8 – The Frenchman commanded the defense, which did not seem unstable throughout the match.
Lisandro MartÃnez – 8 – His faint from behind triggered numerous seizures. One of the most critical players in the Ten Hag system.
Scott McTominay – 7 – Kept it simple and neat.
Christian Eriksen – 7 – Controlled the game from deep

Cristiano Ronaldo – 7 – Good goal but needs to offer more
Jadon Sancho – 9 – Brilliant performance finished off with a sensational goal
