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.
