Manchester United player ratings vs Wolves as Varane and Fernandes good

David de Gea

His first kick went into touch. Rushed out to unnerve Hee Chan Hwang when he ran onto a ball over the top. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Had a good rapport with Antony again but was unreliable in the final third and gradually showed more confidence, albeit without an impact. 6

Raphael Varane

A typically calming influence on his return from a four-week absence. Earned a deserved standing ovation when he came off late on. 8

Victor Lindelof

Rightly retained as Luke Shaw shifted to left-back and had little hassle against a weary Wolves. 7

Luke Shaw

Played with purpose and crossed for Antony to head over. Another consistent performance from a consistent starter. 7

Casemiro

Sloppy again and booked again. Still in a bit of a rut after poor performances at West Ham and Brighton last week. 5

Christian Eriksen

Lethargic and fortunate to stay on beyond the 70-minute mark even with one central midfielder on the bench. 5

Antony

His build-up play was urgent and he assisted Anthony Martial but he squandered three great opportunities. Regularly involved but too inconsistent. 6

Bruno Fernandes

The most intense of United's performers and he underpinned the opening goal. Performance level tailed off in the second half. 7

Jadon Sancho

Too subdued again, though he had a role in Martial's goal by linking up with Fernandes. Drew a good save from Dan Bentley. 5

Anthony Martial

Should have been played in by Antony early on and stayed parallel with the Brazilian to tap in for 1-0 but only lasted 68 minutes. 6

Subs

Wout Weghorst

Headed over a good chance. 5

Fred

Brought much-needed energy to the midfield. 7

Harry Maguire

Important block at the near post. 6

Alejandro Garnacho

Got a goal on his return. 7

Manager

The recalls were all logical but did not energise the team for too long and when he did United attacked quickly. 6
