Manchester United player ratings vs Charlton as Marcus Rashford and Fred good

Tom Heaton

Handled dependably on his long overdue full debut at the age of 36. Commanding in the aerial duels and kept a clean sheet. 7

Diogo Dalot

Had a couple of tetchy exchanges with Antony before he was forced off injured in the 35th minute. 6

Harry Maguire

Passed adventurously and did not lack for confidence ahead of a probable derby demotion. Looked more unsettled in the second half. 6

Lisandro Martinez

A reasonable return. Guilty of some lapses in the second half. A valuable 90 minutes ahead of facing Erling Haaland on Saturday. 6

Tyrell Malacia

Might be off corners after two execrable efforts. Effectively played as a winger but lacked a killer pass and booked for a cynical foul. 5

Scott McTominay

Lost far too many duels against the combative League One side and his passing was particularly poor in contrast to Fred. 5

Fred

Played proactively and found Antony for the opening goal. Struck the inside of the post direct from a free-kick. Strangely substituted on the hour. 8

Kobbie Mainoo

A respectable debut that lasted an hour, Mainoo enjoyed some decent interplay in the final third before Casemiro replaced him. 6

Antony

Scored his fifth United goal and it was the best yet, a majestic left-footed curler. Too quiet thereafter, a trend the Brazilian can't shake off. 6

Alejandro Garnacho

Started auspiciously, firing two shots, creating one chance and drawing one foul before the 10-minute mark. Guilty of frivolousness at times. 6

Anthony Elanga

Lacked presence and barely touched the ball in the first half. Well offside when he tapped in for a disallowed goal in the second. 4

Subs

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Booed by Charlton fans due to his Crystal Palace connection, he was defensively sound again. 6

Christian Eriksen

A threat on the ball but not on it enough. Drew a good save. 7

Casemiro

Classy and composed. Assisted Rashford. 7

Marcus Rashford

Scored to kill the game and then scored again. 8

Facundo Pellistri

After two years and three months, he finally made his debut in the 83rd minute. Bright and assisted Rashford. 7

Manager

The most he has ever rotated, it was justified and it is on the United players for keeping Charlton in the game. Strengthened the team with substitutes. 7
