Man United player ratings vs RB Leipzig: Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw excellent in win

Here are the Manchester United player ratings after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side thrashed RB Leipzig 5-0.

David de Gea

Made a routine stop at 1-0 and an even better stop with the scoreline the same in the second-half. 8

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

In nigh-on impregnable form on a night he seldom attacked to keep watch in defence. Occasionally made up a back three. 8

Victor Lindelof

His excellent form continues. Nigh-on flawless against another esteemed opponent and showed some rare adventure in bringing the ball forward. 8

Harry Maguire

United utilised his aerial prowess at set-pieces and Maguire never seemed likely to be beaten in his own area. 8

Luke Shaw

Offered a decent dead-ball delivery and more urgent in providing width for the midfield diamond. Did little wrong in either half. 8

Nemanja Matic

A triumphant return. Matic excelled in the diamond at Everton in March and was polished again on his first start since the Tottenham drubbing. 7

Paul Pogba

Much more expressive on the left of the midfield diamond and expertly found Mason Greenwood for the opener. Commanded the midfield. 8

Fred

Superb again and is nigh-on undroppable. Fred was urgent from the start and his tenacity sparked the swift move United opened the scoring from. 9

Donny van de Beek

Used the ball prudently without ever being flash with it and supplemented his midfield teammates as the 10. 7

Mason Greenwood

Scored on his first start in 24 days by brushing off the much-lauded Dayot Upamecano and finishing nervelessly. 7

Anthony Martial

Dropped too deep at times and had to be told to play higher up. Much more direct and threatening in the second-half. Scored a penalty. 7

Subs

Scott McTominay

Focused from the off. 7

Marcus Rashford

Kept his composure to make it 2-0 when others expected the offside to be upheld. Then scored again.  And again. First career hat-trick. 9

Bruno Fernandes

Great pass for Rashford to score. 8

Edinson Cavani

Got more minutes. 6

Axel Tuanzebe

Helped keep a clean sheet. 7

Manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

His selections and change in formation were completely vindicated and his in-game management through the substitutions was exceptional. 9
