1. Karl Darlow - 7
Commanding performance from the second choice keeper. Smothered, collected and cleared with purpose - 7 Photo: Ian MacNicol
2. Emil Krafth - 6
Got forward really well - went close with a volley in the first half but added to United's lengthening injury list - 6 Photo: Marc Atkins
3. Fabian Schar - 7
Strolled through the game. Excellent on the ball in a very positive United backline show - 7 Photo: Mark Runnacles
4. Federico Fernandez - 8
Pick of the bunch. Man of the match by some distance. Will be pretty hard to drop after that performance - 8 Photo: Ian MacNicol
