UNITED RATED

- BY SAMUEL LUCKHURST

DEAN HENDERSON

Got into a tangle from a cross early on but recovered. West Ham were shot-shy, so Henderson was hardly tested.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA

United so over-reliant on Shaw it showed how anonymous an attacker Wan-Bissaka was. Booked for fouling Antonio.

VICTOR LINDELOF

For a centre-back preyed upon by physical figurehead­s, an impressive performanc­e against Antonio.

HARRY MAGUIRE

Lambasted team-mates and had the odd awkward moment. Carried on despite head injury.

LUKE SHAW

United’s best player yet again. Offered width regularly and team-mates often looked for him. Big block towards the end.

SCOTT McTOMINAY

Relished the duel with Declan Rice and his physical presence provided competitio­n for West Ham’s midfielder­s.

FRED

No sign of his form picking up again. Did not probe with the ball and rarely quickened United’s attacks.

MASON GREENWOOD

Should have started through the middle. Provided Rashford with a big chance and hit the post in the second half.

BRUNO FERNANDES

Dropped deep to influence the play and set-up in Greenwood for United’s outstandin­g first-half chance.

DANIEL JAMES

Looked a little lost again and only stayed on the pitch due to United’s lack of senior forwards.

MARCUS RASHFORD

Not fully fit but that did not legislate for the toothless striking play or his decisionma­king. Didn’t lack for effort. SUBSTITUTE­S

Not used: Bailly, Grant, Amad, Telles, Bishop, Matic, Williams, Tuanzebe, Shoretire
