Man Utd player ratings vs Norwich as Marcus Rashford stars in drubbing

Marcus Rashford scored twice to set Manchester United on their way to a comfortable win over Norwich.

Rashford - making his 200th appearance for the Red Devils - broke the deadlock at Old Trafford as he volleyed United ahead.

It was an inauspicious start to the second half at Old Trafford for Norwich, who conceded a penalty when Tim Krul brought down Brandon Williams.

Rashford made no mistake from the spot and, only minutes later, Anthony Martial headed in a third to put United out of sight.

Mason Greenwood added a fourth on 76 minutes to add gloss to the scoreline for the rampant Red Devils.

Here's how they rated:

Man Utd

De Gea 7

Nothing of note to do until called upon to make fine save from Cantwell just before break.

Wan-Bissaka 7

Got into promising positions but final ball and end product still lacking at times. Solid defensively though.

Maguire 7

United skipper made crucial interception in first-half to take the ball away from Idah just outside the six-yard box. Didn't put a foot wrong.

Lindelof 7

Came out on top in his defensive battle with Idah. Defended with discipline and was physical when he needed to be.

Williams 8

Given licence to push forward down the left. Won a penalty with one such run. Missed a sitter just before the hour.

Matic 7

Anchored United's midfield with usual assurance and diligence, giving a platform for their attackers to punish Norwich.

Fred 7

Shot wide just after the half-hour mark. Allowed to push further forward and make driving runs with Matic sitting deeper.

Mata 7

Clever use of the ball throughout. Fine cross to set up the opener for Rashford and for Martial for the third goal.

Pereira 7

Always a threat in the No.10 role just behind Martial. Clever movement off the ball and produced several dangerous crosses

Rashford 8 MOTM

Plundered the opener on his 200th United appearance with a volleyed finish and slotted home from the penalty spot for the second.

Martial 7

Dawdled when put through by Mata, allowing himself to be dispossessed. Atoned by scoring with glancing header for United's third.

Subs: James 6 (Rashford, 59), Greenwood 7 (Pereira, 71), Gomes 6 (Martial, 79)
