5. Kean Bryan 7
Another impressive pre-season display from the former Manchester City youngster, who looked fit during his first 90 minutes of pre-season Photo: Tim Goode
6. John Lundstram 7
Saw plenty of the ball in a deeper position early in the game, and some delightful passes - with both feet - switched the play very quickly. Gave the ball away in key areas at times though Photo: James Wilson
7. Regan Slater 7
Another typical all-action display from United's bundle of energy in midfield. Highly rated by United's coaching staff, Slater was denied a sight of goal by an errant offside flag Photo: Simon Bellis
8. Luke Freeman 7.5
Lost the ball on occasion but grew into the game as it went on, and finished with a goal and two assists. Will be a useful player for United Photo: Aitor Alcalde
