HOW THEY RATED

The new gaffer was in place and United’s players were eager to please the Norwegian.

3 = Happy Ole

2 = Neutral Ole

1 = Pensive Ole DAVID DE GEA

2 Rescued Mourinho many times but Solskjaer won’t want to be so reliant on his keeper.

ASHLEY YOUNG

2 Preferred to Dalot and Valencia at right-back and produced a typically solid performance.

PHIL JONES

3 Back in the side after just five appearances under Mourinho and marshalled defence well.

VICTOR LINDELOF

3 Brought the ball out from the back well as United looked to move it forward at every

LUKE SHAW

3 Fell out with Mourinho over back twinge, but nothing wrong with his bravery here.

ANDER HERRERA

3 Scored United’s second when he had the confidence to let fly from 25 yards.

NEMANJA MATIC

2 Mourinho loyalist will give Solskjaer more of the same. Simple and unfussy.

PAUL POGBA

3 Returned from exile on the bench and raised his game for the occasion.

JESSE LINGARD

3 Continues to give United great energy. Involved in the best link-up play and scored.

MARCUS RASHFORD

3 Solskjaer will give youth a chance. Rashford was excellent despite conceding a penalty.

ANTHONY MARTIAL

3 Gifted Frenchman played with the handbrake off and scored a beauty.

SUBSTITUTES

Pereira (for Martial 87), Fred (for Rashford 79), Fellaini (for Matic 87). Ole was already a happy man when they came on!
