David de Gea
Could have watched the game from the Stretford End, Sheriff were that harmless. Should have had the night off. 6
Diogo Dalot
Should have been more involved in the final third for 40 minutes and then headed in expertly to put United 1-0 up. Replaced on the hour. 7
Victor Lindelof
A stable and serene night ahead of a possible start against West Ham on Sunday. Forceful in the tackle a couple of times. 7

Lisandro Martinez
Had a serene evening, with next to no defending to do. Earned a well-earned breather when he was replaced at the pause. 6
Tyrell Malacia
Proactive on his return to the team down the left and switched to the right after Dalot was substituted. 6
Casemiro
Purposeful on the ball as ever and came off with half-an-hour to play with West Ham in mind. 7
Christian Eriksen
The best player on the pitch, it was fitting Eriksen created the breakthrough. Eriksen's passing was behind most of United's opportunities. 8
Antony
Drew a save and, more memorably, frivolously showboated with the game goalless. Required some treatment and came off at half-time. 6
Bruno Fernandes
Seldom effective in the first-half, he moved to the right for the second-half to accommodate Marcus Rashford as the No.10. Crossed for Cristiano Ronaldo to finally score. 6
Alejandro Garnacho
Utterly unfazed on his full debut and should take it as a compliment Sheriff fouled him time and again. 7
Cristiano Ronaldo
Bullish and bright, he was denied by the goalkeeper and the linesman but eventually got his goal. His body language was the opposite of last week. 7
Subs
Harry Maguire
Serenaded by the United fans ahead of his first appearance in seven weeks. A much-needed run-out with Raphael Varane sidelined. 6
Marcus Rashford
Roamed behind Ronaldo and scored his sixth goal of the season. He now has more than last season. 7
Scott McTominay
Had a role in the second goal. 6
Luke Shaw
A second assist in as many games with a first-time cross for Rashford to continue his fine form. 7
Donny van de Beek
Active. 6
Manager
Enlivened the evening with the inclusion of Garnacho and rested the right players from the start and in-game. 7
