Man United beat Burnley in the Carabao Cup fourth round and here are how the players rated at Old Trafford.
Martin Dubravka
United’s most curious recruit of the summer and it showed again with a dodgy punch that almost resulted in an own goal and even dodgier distribution. 3
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
A potentially timely audition amid interest from West Ham, claiming a first assist since May 2021 with a well-timed volley for Christian Eriksen. 7
Victor Lindelof
Switched to the left side of centre-back to accommodate Casemiro and had a reasonable evening as United kept a clean sheet. 6
Casemiro
Slotted in at centre-back impressively and playing deeper did not deter him from playing perceptive passes on an authoritative return. 7
Tyrell Malacia
Unused by the Netherlands, he did not look like he had gone 38 days without a competitive game but was ignored on the overlap at times. 6
Christian Eriksen
Read the move for the opening goal he finished faultlessly for his second goal in as many games. A commanding return to club football. 7
Scott McTominay
Had the privilege of remaining in midfield as Casemiro dropped back but was unreliable at either end, wasting a presentable chance at 1-0. 4
Alejandro Garnacho
Squandered an excellent chance in the eighth minute with a tame shot and never hit his stride on an uncharacteristically rusty performance. 5
Bruno Fernandes
Influential on his return, Fernandes’s pass unlocked the Burnley defence and enabled Wan-Bissaka to tee up Eriksen. 7
Marcus Rashford
Overelaborate in the first-half but excellent in the second. Scored superbly, dashing down the right wing, and was soon in crowdpleasing form. 7
Anthony Martial
Miscued a side-footed effort that would ordinarily be a signature finish and tepid for the majority of the evening. Came off after 70 minutes. 5
Subs
Antony
Replaced Garnacho for his first United appearance since October and botched an easy pass for Fernandes. Booked. 5
Anthony Elanga
Played on the right. 5
Luke Shaw
Got minutes ahead of the Nottingham Forest game. 5
Fred
Late arrival. 5
Brandon Williams
First United appearance in over 18 months. 5
