Man Utd player ratings vs Everton: That's why Benjamin Sesko needs to start! Striker proves super sub AGAIN as Red Devils make in-roads towards top four finish

Senne Lammens (8/10):

Had a lucky escape when charged down by Thierno Barry in the first 10 seconds but he soon settled and proved crucial to the win. Made good stops from Garner's free-kick and Harrison Armstrong's strike but saved the best for last with his astonishing flying save to deny Michael Keane. Also dealt calmly and comfortably with the aerial bombardment.

Diogo Dalot (7/10):

United's most active player in the first half and did well in the second too, tirelessly running up and down his flank.

Harry Maguire (8/10):

Showed good anticipation throughout although one lapse nearly got him in trouble and Yoro had to clean up his mess. Led by example in the second half, clearing every dangerous ball Everton could throw at him.

Leny Yoro (8/10):

Got Maguire out of trouble thanks to his pace and defended pretty well alongside him while also stepping up when needed to help United get forward. 

Luke Shaw (6/10):

Struggled to make any in-roads down the left side but defended diligently.

Kobbie Mainoo (5/10):

Pretty quiet, his best moment being two promising dribbles near the area only for him to get the ball caught under his feet.

Casemiro (5/10):

Looked very rusty. Beaten for pace on a couple of occasions and wasted a good opportunity to release Fernandes by over-hitting the pass.

Bruno Fernandes (5/10):

Frequently looked frustrated as his passes were blocked or his shots went way off target. Left the pitch smiling at last although for once he was not the one to bail United out.

Amad Diallo (5/10):

Had United's only memorable shot on target in the first half which was hacked away by James Tarkowski. Couldn't get much joy after that and couldn't argue when he was replaced by Sesko.

Bryan Mbeumo (6/10):

Didn't bring his shooting boots - scuffed a good opportunity wide in the first half then blazed over from close range, albeit from a tight angle. But he kept his head up and got his skates on to feed Sesko for the breakthrough goal.

Matheus Cunha (6/10):

Had struggled to get in the game in the first half and a promising dribble that came to an end because he fell over summed the game up aptly. But credit where it's due for his brilliant crossfield ball to Mbeumo which sparked the goal.

Benjamin Sesko (8/10):

Provided a ruthless finish to win the game and should have got another. Must be wondering what he needs to do to start a game after scoring for the third time in four matches.

Noussair Mazraoui (6/10):

Did a decent job of protecting the lead after replacing Mbeumo.

Ayden Heaven (N/A):

Brought on deep in added time.

Michael Carrick (7/10):

Forget the performance, sometimes you have to win ugly and his changes helped get the job done and give the team breathing space over Chelsea and Liverpool.
