Man United player ratings vs Southampton: Paul Pogba poor but Anthony Martial impresses

David de Gea

Could do nothing about Stuart Armstrong's goal and was denied a clean sheet on his 400th appearance but made a fabulous save from Nathan Redmond yet did not come for the late corner. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Has to be a contender for a rest at Crystal Palace on Thursday after a fatigued performance. Never got going at either end. 5

Victor Lindelof

Uncomfortable against Southampton's intense pressing initially but improved after the pause and made a vital interception. But lost Michael Obafemi. 6

Harry Maguire

Had to be instructed to get vocal with teammates but was at his most scathing with the referee. Made a key late tackle in the first-half. 6

Luke Shaw

Embarked on a burst that found Marcus Rashford but the forward was flagged offside. Shaw was the most adventurous of the United defenders. 6

Nemanja Matic

Like Wan-Bissaka, might get a breather at Selhurst Park. Often overwhelmed by Southampton's intensity. 5

Paul Pogba

Robbed of the ball by Danny Ings and it led to Southampton's opener. Caught out in possession again soon after. His weakest performance since the restart. Substituted. 4

Bruno Fernandes

So below-par two deliveries in almost as many seconds failed to beat the first man. Still got an assist for Martial's strike.  5

Mason Greenwood

Uncharacteristically quiet against Ryan Bertrand and crudely fouled by Oriol Romeu, who somehow avoided a red card. 5

Marcus Rashford

Took his offside goal well and then moved into the channel to tidily finish Anthony Martial's lay-off. Should have buried a great chance. 7

Anthony Martial

Squandered a one-on-one at 0-0 but atoned with an assist and another stunning goal and embarked on a virtuoso second-half run. 8

Subs

Fred

Offered energy. 6

Brandon Williams

Defended stoutly but forced off injured. 6

Scott McTominay

Offered the defence protection. 5

Daniel James

Forlorn. 4
