Man Utd player ratings gallery with two 8/10 and one 5/10 after win at Leeds United

Manchester United came through a real battle to take all three points from their visit to old rivals Leeds United on Sunday afternoon.

The Elland Road clash came just days after the two sides had shared the spoils with a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag’s side were punished for an underwhelming display. But there was to be no mistake in the reverse fixture as they came through a testing opening 45 minutes to collect three crucial points and continue their push at the top end of the Premier League table.

Marcus Rashford continued his outstanding form in front of goal as he scored his seventh goal in his last eight Premier League appearances and his twelfth since returning from the World Cup Finals in December. Alejandro Garnacho settled the contest as he showed his undoubted promise with a devastating finish to round off a satisfying day’s work at Elland Road.

ManchesterWorld assesses the performance of the Red Devils players as they collected an invaluable three points.

Another reasonably solid performance and is looking increasingly comfortable at the heart of the defence. Produced a similar display at left-back when he switched to that side. Photo: Getty Images

8. Bruno Fernandes - 6

Should have done better with two big chances in each half. Tidy enough in possession but will feel he should have scored at least once. Photo: Getty Images
