But how did United’s players fare? Our man Danny Hall offers his player ratings from the game.
1. Dean Henderson 8
Came an early cross confidently and made a good claim to boost his confidence after his mistake against Liverpool. Then pulled off a superb stop to block from Welbeck when one-on-one. | JPIMedia Photo: Simon Bellis
2. George Baldock 7
Looked visibly frustrated with his teammates around him as moves broke down and got up and down the pitch as well as ever | JPIMedia Photo: Simon Bellis
3. Chris Basham 7
Had an early heart in mouth moment against Andre Gray but almost set up the opener with a good cross which McBurnie was inches away from | Getty Images Photo: Nathan Stirk
4. Jack O'Connell 7
Survived an injury scare in the second half when he stayed down, holding his rib area before coming on after some treatment. Showed why he'd be a huge miss with a typically whole-hearted and commanding display | PA (Press Association) Photo: Shaun Botterill
