3:00 FREE TO WATCH: Highlights of Manchester United’s win over Sheffield United
Simon Moore – 6
Deputised for the ineligible Dean Henderson and powerless to stop Manchester United from easing to victory. Had little chance with Martial’s first two goals but will feel he might have done better for the third.
George Baldock – 6
Had an early sight of goal with one early raid down the right flank but otherwise had his hands full with Rashford, who pinned him back for much of the encounter.
Chris Basham – 5
Slow to react to Rashford’s cut-back for Manchester United’s opening goal, allowing Martial to apply the close-range finish, and caught out in similar circumstances for the Frenchman’s second.
Phil Jagielka – 5
A rare start for the 37-year-old in the absence of the suspended John Egan. Showed his age at times as he struggled to keep pace with the hosts’ attackers.
Jack Robinson – 5
The third member of an unfamiliar Sheffield United back three, Robinson, a January signing from Nottingham Forest, endured a difficult evening up against the hosts’ star-studded attack.
Enda Stevens – 5
Typically one of the Blades’ most reliable performers but did not get close enough to Wan-Bissaka for Manchester United’s second goal.
Oliver Norwood – 5
Showed an impressive range of passing against his boyhood club but was not strong enough up against Martial in the build-up to the first goal. Replaced by Sander Berge at half-time.
John Fleck – 5
An uncharacteristically ineffectual performance from the Scot, who struggled to influence the game and provided little service to Sheffield United’s forwards.
John Lundstram – 6
Provided some attacking impetus on occasion, firing over with one speculative effort in the first half, but like his fellow midfielders, spent most of the evening chasing shadows.
Lys Mousset – 5
A peripheral figure until he was forced off with a foot injury at half-time. Replaced by Oli McBurnie.
David McGoldrick – 5
Lasted slightly longer than his strike partner Mousset, but did not fare much better than him before being replaced by Richairo Zivkovic midway through the second half. Dropped deep and linked the play well at times but made little impact further forwards.
SUBS
Sander Berge – 6
Provided some fresh legs in midfield in the second half. Saw little of the ball but made a few interceptions to break up Manchester United attacks.
Oli McBurnie – 5
Presented with a good chance soon after coming on but failed to get his head to Basham’s cross at United’s near post.
Richairo Zivkovic – 5
Only touched the ball a handful of times after replacing McGoldrick.
