David de Gea
His distribution was much better than against Newcastle and instigated some incisive attacks. His save from the offside Harry Kane eventually led to the second goal. 7
Diogo Dalot
An improved performance after some jaded outings. Encountered Ivan Perisic authoritatively and supplemented attacks on an impressive night. 8
Raphael Varane
Against one of the world's best strikers, Varane showed why he is one of the world's best defenders. Barely put a foot wrong. 8

Lisandro Martinez
Relished the Anglo-Argentine duel and his reading of the game was expert. Kane had little joy against the uncompromising centre-back. 8
Luke Shaw
His best performance in red for some time. Denied by Hugo Lloris on the volley and, like Dalot, was a frequent outlet in the final third. 8
Casemiro
He and Fred looked like a Brazil-standard midfield against Spurs's trio. They dominated proactively, with Casemiro deeper and Fred the creator. 7
Fred
As brilliant as he was bad on Sunday. Fred passing pierced Tottenham's midfield and defence and he was the one who breached Hugo Lloris. Perhaps the zenith of his United career. 9
Antony
His most crowdpleasing and productive performance against a tentative Tottenham defence. Unsettled Spurs with his imaginative play and hit the post. 7
Bruno Fernandes
In sync with the attacks and wasteful again at times but regained the ball to instigate the breakaway Fred finished. Then Fernandes finished fabulously. 7
Jadon Sancho
Too quiet again in the first-half but had an early impact after the restart to tee up Fred for the breakthrough. Not involved enough. 6
Marcus Rashford
Should have buried the standout chance of the first-half and did brilliantly to create a chance early in the second but well denied by Lloris. Was foiled by the Frenchman a third time. 7
Subs
Scott McTominay
Came on to guard United's 2-0 advantage. 6
Anthony Elanga
Late appearance. 6
Christian Eriksen
Nice cameo. 6
Manager
Boldly retained Fred and dropped Ronaldo and both calls were completely vindicated, despite United's low conversion rate. 8
