Manchester United player ratings: Marcus Rashford and Casemiro good vs Burnley

Martin Dubravka

United's most curious recruit of the summer and it showed again with a dodgy punch that almost resulted in an own goal and even dodgier distribution. 3

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

A potentially timely audition amid interest from West Ham, claiming a first assist since May 2021 with a well-timed volley for Christian Eriksen. 7

Victor Lindelof

Switched to the left side of centre-back to accommodate Casemiro and had a reasonable evening as United kept a clean sheet. 6

Casemiro

Slotted in at centre-back impressively and playing deeper did not deter him from playing perceptive passes on an authoritative return. 7

Tyrell Malacia

Unused by the Netherlands, he did not look like he had gone 38 days without a competitive game but was ignored on the overlap at times. 6

Christian Eriksen

Read the move for the opening goal he finished faultlessly for his second goal in as many games. A commanding return to club football. 7

Scott McTominay

Had the privilege of remaining in midfield as Casemiro dropped back but was unreliable at either end, wasting a presentable chance at 1-0. 4

Alejandro Garnacho

Squandered an excellent chance in the eighth minute with a tame shot and never hit his stride on an uncharacteristically rusty performance. 5

Bruno Fernandes

Influential on his return, Fernandes's pass unlocked the Burnley defence and enabled Wan-Bissaka to tee up Eriksen. 7

Marcus Rashford

Overelaborate in the first-half but excellent in the second. Scored superbly, dashing down the right wing, and was soon in crowdpleasing form. 7

Anthony Martial

Miscued a side-footed effort that would ordinarily be a signature finish and tepid for the majority of the evening. Came off after 70 minutes. 5

Subs

Antony

Replaced Garnacho for his first United appearance since October and botched an easy pass for Fernandes. Booked. 5

Anthony Elanga

Played on the right. 5

Luke Shaw

Got minutes ahead of the Nottingham Forest game. 5

Fred

Late arrival. 5

Brandon Williams

First United appearance in over 18 months. 5

Manager

Selected the strongest possible team bar in goal and refused to indulge any lethargy. United got the job done professionally. 7
