David de Gea – 8 – A spectator for much of the first half, the Spaniard was in inspired form after the break. He simply would not be beaten.
Ashley Young – 6 – It is always seen as a worry when Young is deployed at right-back, but he shackled Son and was a composed presence throughout.
Victor Lindelof – 6 – Marked his 50th appearance for United with a confident display that epitomised the progress he has made since a shaky start to life in English football.
Phil Jones – 6 – Struggled to cope with Son’s movement early on but grew into the game and clearly enjoyed clocking up another clean sheet.
Luke Shaw – 6 – Enjoyed a lively, exciting battle with countryman Trippier – and got the better of him.
Ander Herrera – 6 – The Spaniard made several crucial blocks and ensured Spurs could not dictate proceedings. Booked for a late challenge on Eriksen.
Nemanja Matic – 6 – Pragmatic if not picturesque, the Serbian shored things up as things became stretched.
Jesse Lingard – 7 – The forward’s composure failed him when he snatched at an early chance but produced some neat touches in transition.
Paul Pogba – 7 – Chased lost causes consistently and his effort could not be faulted. Produced a sumptuous pass to set up Rashford. Booked for a lunge on Alli.
Anthony Martial – 6 – Direct running caused plenty of problems and a clash with Trippier highlighted the renewed fire in his belly.
Marcus Rashford – 8 – Fielded up top and always looked to stretch the play. A decisive, drilled finish across Lloris was delivered by a man high on confidence.

Lukaku (for Martial 72) – 5 – Helped to provide an out ball and see out the game.
