Manchester United player ratings as Marcel Sabitzer and Lisandro Martinez good vs Fulham

David de Gea

Made a routine save from Issa Diop, had to be more agile to tip over Antonee Robinson's curler and made a fine save from Willian. 8

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Played as though blindfolded in the final third before Antony came on and he was perked up by their unlikely alliance. 6

Harry Maguire

Kept his place in the absence of the injured Raphael Varane and regressed. Booked for clumsily hauling down Aleksandar Mitrovic. 5

Lisandro Martinez

Bar a misjudgement against Harrison Reed, Martinez was one of the few United players to impose themselves. 8

Luke Shaw

Had little bearing on United's attacking play in the first half but overlapped Jadon Sancho to cross for Marcel Sabitzer to score. 7

Marcel Sabitzer

Took time to adjust to playing with Scott McTominay and ended the first half with a shot and a cross. Scored classily to make it 2-1. 8

Scott McTominay

Positionally disciplined without the ball, he got forward into a goalscoring chance just before the pause. 5

Jadon Sancho

Failed to cut it as a starter again. Dawdled on the ball unnecessarily too often and failed to inject any dynamism into United's play. Won the penalty, though. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Extremely careless with the ball, attempting passes that were not on. Showed good bottle to equalise from the penalty spot. Lashed in a second goal. 7

Marcus Rashford

United's sole creator in the first half, he was unusually quiet in the second and came off after United took the lead. 6

Wout Weghorst

His first shot was not a shot; it was a back pass. So harmless he dropped into the hole after Antony came on. 5

Subs

Antony

His breakaway led to the penalty. 7

Fred

Came on to provide energy. 6

Manager

Misjudged the midfield duel for the second week running by not starting Fred with Casemiro suspended. Should have made a half-time change and Fulham almost immediately punished United. The handball bailed out United. 6
