Man Utd player ratings vs Aston Villa: Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial impress

Here's how Manchester United's players rates as they stormed to another win, 3-0 over Aston Villa:

David de Gea

Had an early edgy moment and was well beaten by Trezeguet's shot that clipped the outside of the post. Kept a clean sheet, though. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Did not hit his attacking stride as he has done recently and switched off for an early Jack Grealish chance. Missed a sitter. 6

Victor Lindelof

Had some jittery moments amid Villa's positivity but helped United to another clean sheet. 6

Harry Maguire

Had to help United weather some early pressure but saw them through to another shut-out. 6

Luke Shaw

Careless at times on his 17th successive start and looks like a prime candidate to get a rest against Southampton or Crystal Palace next week. 6

Nemanja Matic

Caught out early on and not at the level of most of his performances pre and post-lockdown. A rest is inevitable next week. 6

Paul Pogba

United's calmest performer in the first-half by a distance. Used the ball proactively and prudently. Scored classily. 8

Bruno Fernandes

Fortunate to win the penalty but typically cool with his conversion and set United on their way to another win. 7

Mason Greenwood

Tested Pepe Reina before he beat him with another Exocet. Becoming the most natural academy success story since the Class of '92. So vital he came off ahead of Marcus Rashford. 8

Marcus Rashford

Scratchy performance in the first-half but fashioned a great chance early in the second that Wan-Bissaka squandered. Missed good chance late on. 6

Anthony Martial

Does nothing for long periods and then does something. Did fabulously for the second goal by sparking the counter-attack. Hit the bar. 8

Subs

Brandon Williams

Finally got some league minutes and great block. 7

Scott McTominay

Got a run-out before an inevitable recall. 6

Fred

Showed positive intent. 6

Odion Ighalo

Looked for first league goal for United. 6

Daniel James

A lively cameo. Got fouled. 7
