Man Utd player ratings vs AZ Alkmaar: Mason Greenwood and Ashley Young good

Manchester United claimed top spot in Europa League Group L after an emphatic 4-0 win over AZ Alkmaar, here's how we rated the players:

Sergio Romero

Rusty in the first-half but made a quality save in the second to preserve United's clean sheet. 6

Ashley Young

Uninspiring in the first-half but remained determined and arrowed in the opener from Juan Mata's cross before he was substituted. 7

Harry Maguire

A steady performance on a night he may have expected to be in his hospitality box. Withdrawn shortly after the hour mark. 6

Axel Tuanzebe

Another Europa League start to his name and called for greater focus with United lagging at 0-0 in the first-half. 6

Brandon Williams

Rash again at times in the first-half and his performance mirrored the team's. Much more confident after United went 1-0 up. 6

James Garner

Won the ball to allow Mason Greenwood to score his second, though it was a foul. Looked more comfortable alongside Dylan Levitt in Astana. 6

Nemanja Matic

Looked like a 31-year-old who has been out for two months injured in the first 45. Combined well for the breakthrough, though. 5

Andreas Pereira

Careless in the first-half but much better in the second and dazzled the crowd with some ostentatious skills. 6

Mason Greenwood

Best of the lot in the tedious first-half, then scored two and won a penalty in the second. United fans will be seeing a lot more of him in the years to come. 9

Juan Mata

Wasted some good openings in the first-half but found his feet in the second, assisting Young and scoring his first of the season. 7

Anthony Martial

Played like he wished he'd had the night off and was substituted on the hour mark ahead of another start against Everton on Sunday. 5

Subs

Tahith Chong

Eager. 5

Phil Jones

Fine. 6

Ethan Laird

Booked. 5
