But who impressed for United? Our man Danny Hall offers his player ratings from the game.
5. Oliver Norwood 8
Captained the side in Billy Sharp's absence and was a danger from wide areas with his set-piece delivery, which Oli McBurnie and Co. should be licking their lips at. Showed bite in his tackles too when called upon Photo: James Wilson
6. David McGoldrick 7.5
Could have opened the scoring inside 30 seconds when he tried to lob Ramsdale but lost his footing slightly. Saw a second half shot flash wide and dropped deep, as he does, to link up play. The top-flight should suit his game Photo: James Wilson
7. Callum Robinson 7.5
Created a good opening for himself when he turned to fashion a yard of space and tested Ramsdale from long range with a well-hit shot. Full of running throughout the game Photo: James Wilson
8. SUBS: Oliver McBurnie 7.5
Looked very bright on his United debut, dropping deep to pick up the ball and showing he wasn't scared to run at defenders, and also challenge them in the air. Could become a crowd favourite with United supporters Photo: Simon Bellis
