David de Gea

Saved well from Loftus-Cheek as Fulham threatened equaliser but could do little for Lookman’s opener. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Slow to react as he played Lookman onside in horrific start. Improved in second-half and made vital recovery challenge to prevent Lookman cross. 6

Eric Bailly

Maligned by BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand as he was inattentive for Fulham’s opener. Not as sharp as last week against Burnley and afforded Fulham space. So fortunate not to concede last minute own goal. 5

Harry Maguire

Superb in air defensively but cannot replicate proficiency in opposition box. Brought ball out well from his own-half. 6

Luke Shaw

United are more potent down the left and that owes largely to Shaw. He joined in attacks but more permeable than against Liverpool. 7

Fred

Great interplay with Fernandes in build-up to Cavani’s equaliser and denied clear first-half penalty. Relentless energy if not always prudent on the ball. 7

Paul Pogba

Astonishing goal proved the match-winner. Like against Burnley, his one moment of brilliance has secured another crucial away win. 8

Anthony Martial

Ineffective for large spells and doubled up on by Fulham on the left-flank. Rashford could have been utilised from the bench sooner to give opposition food for thought. 5

Bruno Fernandes

Superb involvement in Cavani’s equaliser and could have netted from range on two occasions. Improved after looking fatigued against Liverpool. 6

Mason Greenwood

His influence grew on the right as United gained control after the break but quiet for large spells and substituted late on. 5

Edinson Cavani

Anticipated chance expertly for equaliser and his movement in and around the box highlights what United lack when he doesn’t lead the line. Tireless workrate has to be admired. 8

Substitutes

Scott McTominay

N/A

Marcus Rashford

Could have been brought on sooner. N/A

Nemanja Matic
