Default Re: [EPL] Manchester United 2-0 Chelsea

Manchester United 2-0 Chelsea - PLAYER RATINGS: Ander Herrera is Jose Mourinho's all-action man while Marcus Rashford inspires up front

* Marcus Rashford troubled Chelsea's defence with his pace and clever movement
* Ander Herrera a star in midfield, scoring as well as man-marking Eden Hazard
* Diego Costa appeared to surrender after being wound up by Marcos Rojo


Jose Mourinho reminded Chelsea of his tactical genius as Manchester United blew the Premier League title race wide open with a deserved win.

Marcus Rashford scored the opening goal in the first half before Ander Herrera doubled it with a deflected effort in the second.

Sportsmail reporter Alex Martin rates how both sets of players performed at Old Trafford on Easter Sunday.

Manchester United (4-3-3)

David De Gea - 6.5

Had very little to do in the game but always looked ready to spring into action.

Antonio Valencia - 6.5

Was given the day off by Marcos Alonso's late withdrawal. Untroubled by Cesar Azpilicueta and, later, Victor Moses.

Marcos Rojo - 7

More focused on winding Diego Costa up than stopping him from scoring but executed both tasks very well.


Marcos Rojo took it upon himself to play chief agitator to Chelsea striker Diego Costa

Eric Bailly - 7

Did not partake in the dark arts like Rojo. Stuck to the task of playing football and covered the gaps well.

Matteo Darmian - 6.5

Lost Pedro twice in quick succession in the second half to gift the Spaniard the opportunities to score but otherwise solid.

Marouane Fellaini - 7

An incredibly strong presence in midfield as per usual. Did the basics well and rarely found out of position, if at all.

Ander Herrera - 8

Created the first with a sublime pass and scored the second. Man-marked Eden Hazard out of the game and Jose Mourinho's likely choice for man of the match.


Ander Herrera was Manchester United's all-action utility man across the entire midfield

Paul Pogba - 6.5

A quiet game but flashes of quality from a man who looks in need of an extended rest after a hectic 12 months.

Jesse Lingard - 7

Linked up well with Rashford in an unfamiliar forward position but not nearly as threatening in front of goal.

Marcus Rashford - 8.5

Burned David Luiz for pace en route to scoring the opening goal, something not even Zlatan Ibrahimovic could have done. A constant problem for Chelsea's defence.

Ashley Young - 6.5

Made a hash of two decent first-half opportunities. More of a passenger on the Manchester United gravy train.

Substitutes

Carrick (Lingard 60) - 6; Ibrahimovic - 5.5 (Rashford 83); Fosu-Mensah (Young 90).

Subs not used: Romero; Blind; Shaw; Mkhitaryan.

Manager: Jose Mourinho - 8
