Manchester United player ratings vs Wolves as Marcus Rashford and Raphael Varane good

The right-back’s upward curve continued with a solid defensive display. Not as present in attack as fellow full-back Tyrell Malacia. 7

Raphael Varane

Dominated the aerial duels on the ground where he made his United debut in another commanding performance from a world-class defender. 8

Luke Shaw

Passed an early examination by Diego Costa and the Spaniard only lasted a half. Asserted himself imposingly at centre half again. 8

Tyrell Malacia

Offered decent support in attack and crossed for Antony to head straight at Jose Sa in the first-half. Kept up with Adama Traore. 7

Casemiro

A more testing examination than against Forest, his influence was limited by Wolves’ intensity and he was reduced to some cynical fouls. 6

Christian Eriksen

Did not come close to picking the lock on an afternoon so toiling he was replaced by Fred on the hour. 5

Antony

Guilty of failing to protect Aaron Wan-Bissaka against Hugo Bueno and blunt when Anthony Martial’s miscued header rolled to him. 5

Bruno Fernandes

On the periphery and struggled to have an influence. Hit an awful free-kick and an awful shot (or was it a cross?) in the second-half but claimed an assist. 5

Alejandro Garnacho

For the second week running, he showed the ‘keeper mercy in a one-on-one at 0-0. It cost Garnacho as he was replaced at half-time. 4

Anthony Martial

Showed why United need a new No.9. Often caught on his heels, Martial glanced a presentable header away from goal. 5

Subs

Marcus Rashford

Dropped due to an “internal disciplinary”, United were more intense with Rashford on and he took his goal terrifically. Harshly had a second chalked off. 8

Fred

Brought some verve to the midfield but got booked. 6

Donny van de Beek

Was about to come on at 0-0 and still came on. Inconsistent. 5

Harry Maguire

Came on in added time. N/A
