Dean Henderson
Had little to do with his hands but showcased his underrated distribution with his first pass to Diogo Dalot. 6
Diogo Dalot
Got caught out for Villa's second-best chance when Jack Grealish got the run on him and was rarely seen in attack. 5
Timothy Fosu-Mensah
A reasonably solid performance from the Jack-of-all-trades at centre half. Fosu-Mensah's versatility continues to endear him to Solskjaer. 6
Harry Maguire
Caught ball-watching for Ollie Watkins' winner and was on his heels when Watkins skied a chance from Grealish's cross. 5
Luke Shaw
Proactive and delivered the odd inviting cross that was not met on his first appearance since July. 6
Scott McTominay
Had a polished first-half and operated at a good tempo but came off at half-time for Ethan Galbraith. 7
Donny van de Beek
Demanded the ball whenever he did not have it and got forward from his deep-lying role. Slick on the ball but not as profound in the second-half. 7
Daniel James
Maybe his most productive United performance of the calendar year. Offered good service, proactive and crudely fouled by Matthew Cash. 7
Jesse Lingard
Tested Jed Steer twice in the first-half and was tidy whenever he received the ball. Intuitively drifted into the middle to support the forwards. 6
Marcus Rashford
Played in the No.10 role and did not look comfortable there. Equally as guilty as Ighalo of not offering a penalty box presence. 5
Odion Ighalo
The sun was out and all Ighalo was missing was a deckchair. Nowhere to be seen for a number of presentable crosses and replaced by Teden Mengi. 4
Subs
Ethan Galbraith
Close to scoring. 6
Teden Mengi
More deserved first-team exposure. 6
Brandon Williams
Came on at right-back. 5
Lee Grant
A rare outing. 5
Anthony Elanga
Made his first-team bow. 6
