Manchester United player ratings as Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho impress vs Liverpool FC

David de Gea

Made a good save at 0-0 from Luis Diaz and came off his line twice - a rarity for a goalkeeper having to adapt. 8

Diogo Dalot

Loose at times against Diaz but eager in attack and rattled the woodwork at 3-0. 7

Victor Lindelof

Defended coolly and made a couple of notable interceptions from crosses. 8

Raphael Varane

Pushed so high up the pitch he won a throw-in in Liverpool's third and defended solidly. 7

Luke Shaw

Very proactive and back to his best after a woeful season. Often involved in attacks. 7

Scott McTominay

Particularly physical, perhaps more so as he looks to retain his place amid United's efforts to sign Frenkie de Jong. 7

Fred

Botched a good opportunity at 0-0 but scored craftily with a lob over compatriot Alisson before his half-time withdrawal. 8

Bruno Fernandes

Accelerated attacks with his probing passes and not wasteful in possession. 7

Jadon Sancho

Scored clinically to put United ahead, linked up well with Dalot and created chances through his awareness on and off the ball. 9

Marcus Rashford

Ran relentlessly and unnerved Liverpool but he mis-hit with the goal gaping after Sancho teed him up. 6

Anthony Martial

A fluid performance where he started through the middle and moved to the left but scored stylishly from the right-hand channel. 8

Subs

Tom Heaton

Denied Darwin Nunez not long after coming on. 7

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Liverpool targeted United down the left, so Wan-Bissaka had little defending to do during his half and there was little appetite to attack. 6

Eric Bailly

Bailed out teammates more than once as United came under pressure and sparked the counter-attack for their fourth goal. 8

Alex Telles

Barely a left-back and never a centre-back. Made two errors in the first minutes of the second-half. 5

Tyrell Malacia

Started confidently but got caught out not long after. 6

Charlie Savage

A disciplined performance in holding midfield next to Zidane Iqbal. 6

Zidane Iqbal

A confident outing for the talented Iraq international, who was unfazed by the esteemed opponents. 7

Amad

Denied one potential run on goal through a cynical foul but collaborated potently with Facundo Pellistri. 6

Donny van de Beek

Returned to the No.10 role but had little impact there. 5

Facundo Pellistri

Saw little of the ball as Liverpool dominated possession for most of the second-half but came alive to score the fourth goal. 7

Anthony Elanga

So anonymous Ten Hag called him over during the game at one stage. 5
