Manchester United player ratings vs Bournemouth as Raphael Varane and Casemiro good

David de Gea

His first kick went straight to an opponent but he made a good stop from Dominic Solanke and also denied David Brooks. 8

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Sharp at both ends and his end product was an improvement on recent performances as he teed up Bruno Fernandes. 7

Raphael Varane

Solid on his second start back from injury. It is not a coincidence United have had two shut-outs with Varane back. 8

Victor Lindelof

Started the move that Casemiro finished to put United 1-0 up and helped United keep another clean sheet on his ninth straight start. 8

Luke Shaw

Withdrew from the warm-up early but recovered to start and performed consistently, offering United a regular outlet with his overlaps. 7

Casemiro

Volleyed in acrobatically to give United an early lead and back to his best after a few poor performances. Battled diligently. 8

Christian Eriksen

Like Casemiro, nearer his level, as he demonstrated by picking out the Brazilian. Tidy on the ball. 7

Antony

Confident on the ball but not particularly creative in the first half, he then became so casual after the pause that it was a surprise he stayed on. 4

Bruno Fernandes

Too loose too often with the ball and perhaps only his status ensured he stayed on. Had a volley stopped by Neto. 4

Jadon Sancho

The United fans had to urge him to accelerate a couple of times. Slightly more intense in the second half but underperformed again. 4

Anthony Martial

Put himself about a bit and had some decent link-up play. The most vibrant of the front four yet he was the first to be substituted. 6

Subs

Wout Weghorst

Had a shot stopped by Neto and improved United's play. 7

Alejandro Garnacho

An upgrade on Sancho. 7

Scott McTominay

Came on late to protect the lead. 6

Fred

Same as McTominay. 6

Manager

Selected a largely logical side bar the retention of Sancho. Weghorst's introduction raised eyebrows but United became more proactive in attack. 7
