Man United player ratings vs Istanbul Basaksehir: Marcus Rashford and Donny van de Beek good

David de Gea

His selection would have been controversial if United had not won so handsomely. Excellent save to deny Edin Visca but culpable for goal. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Marcus Rashford was the right winger in name only but Wan-Bissaka did not offer additional support. He did not need to, mind. 6

Victor Lindelof

Avoided any dramas during a serene 45 minutes before he made way for Axel Tuanzebe to protect his back problem. 6

Harry Maguire

A stress-free evening for the United captain who is showing something like his best form after a rocky period earlier in the season. 6

Alex Telles

His corner led to the first goal though Telles' positioning vexed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick. Looked at ease again. 7

Donny van de Beek

A steelier performance from the Dutchman in a deeper role he looked more than comfortable in next to Fred. 7

Fred

The Brazilian's selection reinforced his importance and United are simply a better side with Fred as one of the midfield two. 7

Marcus Rashford

A threat almost from the off and might only be disappointed not to have scored from open play. Not shackled by starting on the right. 8

Bruno Fernandes

His thunderous half-volley is maybe his best goal for United and Fernandes was selfless in letting Rashford take the penalty. Deservedly rested. 8

Anthony Martial

Moved to accommodate Cavani and had Rafael da Silva on toast. The debate will rage on over whether he is better on the left. 7

Edinson Cavani

His deft touches brought teammates into play quickly and United benefited from having an out-and-out striker up top. 8

Subs

Axel Tuanzebe

Booked and misses the Paris Saint-Germain match next week. 5

Mason Greenwood

Greedy and his decision-making annoyed some teammates but assisted Daniel James. 6

Daniel James

Did not offer much of a threat until he scored in added time. 6

Brandon Williams

First appearance in nearly two months. 5

Nemanja Matic

Came on to shore things up. 5

Manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Limited the number of changes with a top-heavy side that took Basaksehir to the cleaners and won the game with a half to spare. 8
