Jamal Blackman 6. On-loan ‘keeper made a good save to deny Saville, and was left exposed by his defence for all of Millwall’s goals

Hide AdChris Basham 7. Three absolutely delightful crosses in the first half came to nothing as United failed to gamble in the box
Cameron Carter-Vickers 6. A difficult afternoon for the Spurs loanee, back on London soil. Struggled to cope with early home threat
Richard Stearman 6. Preferred to Jake Wright and was left isolated against Gregory too often. Looked comfortable on the ball
Jack O’Connell 6. Enjoyed a good battle with Morison but was caught in possession by Gregory for Millwall’s second goal

Hide AdEnda Stevens 5. Struggled to find a white shirt with his crosses, and slipped up with clearance to gift Millwall a second
John Lundstram 7. Another impressive afternoon. Lundstram demanded the ball and used it well to keep United ticking
John Fleck 7. Was outmuscled by Gregory for the first goal, but linked up well with Duffy. Skied two shots at goal
Mark Duffy 6. United’s main threat once again but was crowded out too many times. Superb pass for Brooks’ goal

Hide AdDavid Brooks 5. Another 90 minutes for the youngster and a well-taken goal, but he’ll be disappointed with his display
Leon Clarke 5. Captain for the day, but the in-form striker was disappointing - although lack of service didn’t help his cause
Subs: Billy Sharp 5. Replaced Stearman after 73 minutes but his best chance was curtailed after being flagged offside on wing
Clayton Donaldson 5. Thrown on with eight minutes left, his only involvement was one headed half-chance. A decent option
