Manchester United player ratings as Rashford and Shaw good vs Leeds

David de Gea

Had two openings to deal with at the start and end of the first half and was busier at the start of the second half amid a flurry of Leeds openings. 7

Diogo Dalot

Got caught cold for Crysencio Summerville's early chance and rarely imposed himself further up the pitch other than smacking the crossbar. 5

Harry Maguire

Recovered to avoid disaster when Jack Harrison robbed him of the ball but booked for a clumsy tackle. An error-strewn return to the starting XI. 5

Luke Shaw

One of the few cool heads out there in red, Shaw read the game impressively on his return to centre half. Moved to left-back when Lisandro Martinez emerged. Excellent cross for Marcus Rashford. 7

Tyrell Malacia

Put himself about and was not intimidated by the bilious atmosphere. A decent hour ahead of a likely start against Barcelona. 6

Marcel Sabitzer

Struggled to provide United with any midfield presence, his passing was often hasty and Erik ten Hag was unhappy with his positioning at times. 5

Fred

Booked early on and United's trial of allowing him to drift forward and push Malacia into midfield was brief. Mucked in at times. 5

Jadon Sancho

Created United's first chance for Bruno Fernandes on his first start in 113 days. Lasted an hour before making way for Alejandro Garnacho. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Shot wide wastefully with his first chance and then appeared uncomfortable in his unsuccessful one-on-one with Illan Meslier. 5

Marcus Rashford

Struggled to impose himself against Luke Ayling and switched flanks at one stage with Sancho. Then moved up front and scored again with another fine header. 7

Wout Weghorst

An incongruous presence again up front. His lay-offs were poor and he lacked an understanding with teammates. Didn't lack effort but lacked quality. Got an assist. 5

Subs

Lisandro Martinez

Utterly unfazed by the atmosphere and opposition. 7

Alejandro Garnacho

Beautifully taken goal. 7

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Solid in defence. 6

Anthony Elanga

Late cameo. N/A

Manager

Tried to prepare Shaw and Malacia for Barcelona by resting Martinez, suspended for the Camp Nou leg, but the defence missed Martinez's line-breaking passes. But Rashford's reinvention and Garnacho's introduction were key. 7
