Below are the player ratings from Wednesday's clash:
David De Gea- 6
Had nothing to do really apart from the save he was forced to make from Mcburnie. He gave an excellent pass to Rashford, only for him to miss a sitter.
Aaron Wan- Bissaka- 7
As always the young Englishman had a perfect game. He was defensively solid as usual, and had a lot of attacking opportunities, provided an amazing assist for Martial's second goal.
Harry Maguire- 7
Had nothing to do really, was hardly threatened. He had a goal disallowed from a corner as he committed a foul.
Victor Lindelof- 7
Just like his partner he was hardly tested. But he was more of a defensive presence than Maguire.
Luke Shaw- 8
He was the best among the defenders, running down the wings, winning back the ball and towards the end, he gave a sublime pass to Ighalo, who should have put the ball in the back of the net.
Nemanja Matic- 8
What a great performance from the experienced Serbian. He was the assuring defensive midfielder, which allowed Pogba to join in with Bruno Fernandes to terrorise the Sheffield defenders. Matic's physicality, skills and positional sense is why he should start ahead of McTominay and Fred.
Paul Pogba- 8
We finally got to see Pogba starting along with Fernandes , and there were signs, with more time and understanding surely they are going to be even better. He showed his class, when he managed to waltz pass 5 Sheffield defenders to enter inside the box, but Martial couldn't reap the benefit pogba has created.
Marcus Rashford- 9
The talented Englishman had a good game, provided two good assists for Martial. He should have got himself on the scoresheet too, had he not missed a sitter. It seems, he's going to take a bit of time to get back his goalscoring instincts. Nonetheless, he had a good game and hopefully we are soon gonna see him scoring some amazing goals.
Bruno Fernandes- 7
The Portuguese Magnifico had a quite game compared to his usual high standards. He tried to score an amazing and pacy curling free-kick, which was saved by Moore. He had a part in Martial's hat-trick goal.
Mason Greenwood- 8
Finally, Ole listened to our cries and started Greenwood on the right-wing ahead of Dan James. He was clearly better as he didn't get bullied by the defenders, was always at the right spots in the final third to grab the opportunity and score goals. He once came close to scoring. Should start more games.
Anthony Martial- 10
By far, the Man Of The Match. He scored all the 3 goals like a natural striker and selflessly gave a pass to Rashford, only for him to miss a sitter. The third goal which was a cool and composed dink showed how much Ole has changed him and making him a predator inside the box. He's clearly becoming the striker he was expected to become. Hope to see more hat-tricks from Tony!
SUBS
Odion Ighalo- 5
Should have scored from the sublime pass Shaw provided him. He was so excited in breaking his PL duck that he forgot the basics , with such a poor first touch. Relax Odion, sooner or later you will score in the PL.
Daniel James- 6
Tried to contribute in the team getting a fourth goal.
Andreas Periera- 6
Played on the right-wing and tried to show off some skills and getting the team a fourth goal.
Juan Mata- 6
El Mago made his 250th MUFC appearance on Wednesday and showed glimses of his class with his cheeky passes inside the box.
Scott McTominay- 6
Steadied the midfield along with Nemanja Matic for the rest of the match.
