Manchester United (4-2-3-1):
David De Gea 6
Solid enough although his communication could have been better with his defence. Could do nothing about Ayling’s shot.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 6
Looked solid enough defensively and linked up well with James in attack. His pace helped out his defence at times, too.
Victor Lindelof 7
With Raphael Varane unveiled before kick-off, pressure is on the Swedish defender and he responded well with numerous well-judged interceptions plus an assist.
Harry Maguire 6
Moment of indecision with de Gea wasn’t great but did a good enough job of keeping Leeds danger man Bamford quiet.

Luke Shaw 7
Continued where he left off, with a sound defensive performance complemented by some lung-busting attacking play.
Scott McTominay 7
Still working his way back to full fitness but put in a strong 70 minutes which featured plenty of hard running and sound decision making.
Fred 7
A slightly surprising choice to start but helped McTominay boss the middle and even had time to bomb forward for United’s fifth.
Daniel James 7
Energetic performance, popping up on both wings and covering acres of space. Final ball could still be better.

Bruno Fernandes 10
A stunning 29-minute hat-trick from the player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not want to carry his team’s goal-scoring burden this season. All were immaculate finishes.
Paul Pogba 8
Missed a glorious opening when clean through on goal but more than made up for it with the passes for four of United’s five goals!

Mason Greenwood 9
Incredibly sharp, almost capitalising on a back pass to score and setting up a great chance for Pogba. Deserved his goal.
