5. Jack O’Connell 7
A real threat going forward for United down the left and some of his cross-field passes to Baldock were superb in front of England boss Gareth Southgate Photo: Simon Bellis
6. Enda Stevens 7.5
Put United ahead with a stunning finish on the volley, beating Ryan at the near post. Didn’t reappear for the second half, presumably after picking up a knock Photo: Simon Bellis
7. Oliver Norwood 7
The heartbeat of United again with his passes switching play effortlessly. Set-pieces always a danger too in the swirling wind and pouring rain Photo: Simon Bellis
8. John Fleck 8
Signed a new deal on the eve of the game and showed exactly why United were so keen to keep hold of him. Drove forward, drew fouls and used the ball so intelligently Photo: Simon Bellis
