Man United player ratings vs Real Sociedad: Fred and Bruno Fernandes impress

Dean Henderson

Made an important save during the frenzied start and was dependable in dealing with crosses. Another clean sheet. 7

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Booked early on and made some risky challenges but defended solidly and stayed on for the full duration. 7

Eric Bailly

Had an erratic start that let Adnan Januzaj in but regained composure. Much more settled when United went 2-0 up. 6

Harry Maguire

Did not look comfortable against Sociedad's pace but executed a key clearance early in the second-half when it was 1-0. 6

Alex Telles

Dealt well with Januzaj and was proactive in the attacking third as well. One of his best performances for United. 8

Scott McTominay

Reiterated his importance with a box-to-box performance. A doubt going into the game, he came off early in the second-half. 7

Fred

Provided balance next to McTominay and behind Bruno Fernandes in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's favoured midfield trio and his assist for Marcus Rashford was quality. 7

Mason Greenwood

Performed selflessly and mucked in in defence when he should have occupied a more central role. Unfortunate to be flagged when he seemed to have assisted James. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Where would United be without him? Fernandes notched his 20th goal of the season with the expertise of a striker and then got another. 8

Daniel James

The only dubious inclusion and it showed. Nigh-on anonymous and ran around like a headless chicken. Improved in the second-half, kept going and got a goal. 6

Marcus Rashford

Rashford was the wrong man in the right places in the first-half. Wasted three excellent chances but got his goal in the second and had key roles in Fernandes' goals. 6

Subs

Nemanja Matic

Important clearance shortly after he came on. 6

Anthony Martial

Sent on to boost his confidence. 5

Amad

Made his debut with a late cameo. 6

Juan Mata

Made his comeback after a three-week absence. 6

Manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Managed the balance of rotating the team and respecting Sociedad well, freshening up the team with logical recalls. 8
