Man United player ratings against West Brom: Bruno Fernandes and Fred decent – Samuel Luckhurst

David De Gea

Received the finest touches to carry Karlan Grant’s fake effort. Seconds before United won a penalty, he made one of his classic saves from Conor Townsend. 8th

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Against the attack too often, despite West Brom’s reluctance to act. Just not doing enough for the future. 5

Victor Lindelof

Didn’t seem to be hampered by his back problem and helped United score a goal. 6th

Harry Maguire

The only one who acted like a proper United player from start to finish and started runaway Anthony Martial should have finished. 6th

Alex Such

It took some time to adjust to the demands and there were some loose moments and his speculative shooting was crooked. 6th

Nemanja Matic

He suffered the disgrace of a nutmeg, but did little wrong. The problem was that United didn’t need two steel midfielders against 18th place. 5

Fred

Neat enough with the ball trying to get United to attack but rarely played a memorable pass. 6th

Juan Mata |

Too passive too often in the first half but his cross was handled and earned United a penalty. Made space for Cavani every hour on the hour. 5

Bruno Fernandes

Set up Martial for an easy chance but got so frustrated that he retreated into a deeper role. Fortunately, he was unable to take the penalty and luckily he was able to recapture his saved free kick. 6th

Marcus Rashford

Rusty returned from injury and missed a great opportunity for everyone but killing the game in the second half. 4th

Anthony Martial

Saved an early header before missing a chance with Goldrand shortly thereafter. Sometimes went through the movements. 5

Manchester United recorded a 1-0 win over West Brom and secured a Premier League home win this season.

It wasn’t nice, but it means two straight wins for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side who will have to balance league and Champions League commitments in a busy time in the coming weeks.

Edinson Cavani

Fluffed a good chance. 4th

Donny van de Beek

Came on for the last 10 minutes. 5

Scott McTominay

Replaced Fred to protect the leadership. 5

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

West Brom was overrated by Matic’s start with Fred and should have made a change at halftime. Cavani for Mata was an adventurous move. 6th
