SIX OF THE BEST!

United wallop Leeds:

-

DAVID DE GEA

Made a good save with his feet before conceding Liam Cooper’s saveable header to give Leeds hope.

A WAN-BISSAKA

Still far from his best and was often on the back foot even against obliging opponents. Leeds often targeted him.

VICTOR LINDELOF

Patrick Bamford made it awkward for Lindelof at times and he was more composed at the other end with fine strike.

HARRY MAGUIRE

Implored his team-mates not to let up and read the game well, even during spells where Leeds threatened.

LUKE SHAW

Lackadaisi­cal at times and lightning at others, Shaw’s corner led to United’s fourth goal before half-time.

SCOTT MCTOMINAY

Both goals had shades of Paul Scholes, United’s previous league scorer against Leeds. Overwhelme­d opposition.

FRED

Reiterated why he is undroppabl­e with his probing passes that breached Leeds time and again.

BRUNO FERNANDES

Clinically claimed his 12th goal of the season after setting up McTominay’s first. Revelled in playmaker role and hit penalty.

DANIEL JAMES

Vindicated his surprise selection by stretching fullbacks on his first start in nearly two months. Got his goal.

MARCUS RASHFORD

Had Leeds on toast and switched wings to leave them confounded. Unfortunat­e not to have got a goal.

ANTHONY MARTIAL

Laid on goal for McTominay and expertly assisted Lindelof. Won the penalty in his best performanc­e of the season.

ALEX TELLES: (Shaw 60) Defended decently. 6 DONNY VAN DE BEEK: (Fernandes 71) Had little impact. 5

EDINSON CAVANI: (Rashford 71) First game in two weeks. 6

NOT USED: Bailly, Pogba, Mata, Greenwood, Henderson, Matic
