Anthony Elanga
The youngster replaced Cristiano Ronaldo and justified the manager’s decision by repeatedly testing Alexander-Arnold in the first half and setting up Sancho for the opening goal. 7/10
Marcus Rashford
Unsettled the Liverpool defence with a number of strong runs through the middle before producing a superb finish after being sent clear by Martial to add the second goal. 9/10

Martial for Elanga 46, 7

Liverpool
Alisson
The visitors’ fragile defence meant this was an uncomfortable evening for the keeper. Produced an excellent, acrobatic save to keep out Eriksen’s free-kick midway through the first half. 6/10
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Given a testing time by Elanga during the first half and was eventually booked for a first half foul on the United winger. Forced to focus on defensive duties. 5/10
Joe Gomez
Restored to central defence in place of Nat Phillips. Overworked like the rest of the Liverpool defence and was fortunate a weak challenge on Rashford did not lead to a third goal. 5/10
