David de Gea
Kept the scoreline goalless at the pause with two agile saves from Mathias Jensen. Another matchwinning performance. 8
Diogo Dalot
Jittery early on after his chasing from Lucas Digne. Played United into trouble and errant in the final third. Much calmer in the second-half and impressed. 7
Victor Lindelof
Brentford preyed on his lack of physicality and Lindelof was uncomfortable amid the rough and tumble. Like most, he improved after half-time. 6
Raphael Varane
A solid performer, despite the chaos in the first-half and maintained composure even after the first and second goals. Class. 8
Alex Telles
An inoffensive performance but still not effective enough in the final third and his corners were not threatening enough. 6
Scott McTominay
Struggled to adjust to his role holding the fort in the first-half but more settled after the pause and won the ball to spark counter-attack for Mason Greenwood's goal. 7
Fred
Regressed after a promising performance at Villa Park and Brentford matched his ebullience in the first-half but he picked the lock to find Anthony Elanga. 6
Bruno Fernandes
Impatient with his passing and played needless lofted balls no one was going to latch onto. Calmer after half-time and did brilliantly for the second goal. 7
Mason Greenwood
Not involved enough in the first-half but did not let his head drop and held his line to tap in Fernandes' lay-off. 6
Anthony Elanga
Kept going despite the size difference against Mads Roerslev and took his goal exceptionally well to put United ahead. 7
Cristiano Ronaldo
So frustrated he complained to the referee at the end of the first-half. Magnificent lay-off for Fernandes to play in Greenwood. 6
Subs
Harry Maguire
United changed to a back three with him. 6
Marcus Rashford
Really well taken goal. 7
Nemanja Matic
No time to impress. N/A
Manager
Picked the right team and although United didn't turn up in the first-half they did in the second. Tactical and personnel changes also worked. 7
