De Gea - 5
Committed a terrible error for Ashley Fletcher's goal by spilling Dimitri
Payet's central shot. Unlikely to make it four player of the year awards in a
row.
Valencia - 6
Supplemented the attack as adventurously as he has all season and might be
grateful the left flank contributed more for once.
Jones - 7
He will take some budging when Eric Bailly and Chris Smalling are both
available. The artisan's confidence is flying after starting a fifth
successive game.
Rojo - 7
The Argentinian, like Jones, is benefiting from a consistent run in the same
position and is forming a promising partnership with the England centre half.
Shaw - 7
His best performance for two months was cut prematurely short. More alert in
defence and his swift distribution allowed Anthony Martial to regain form
ahead of him.
Herrera - 6
Rustier than he was at the weekend and was outshone by the forwards ahead of
him. Conceded too many fouls to give West Ham encouragement.
Carrick - 5
So penetrative were United in attack Carrick appeared to be a bystander in
comparison. Lacked the aggression to counter West Ham's physical midfielders.
Mkhitaryan - 8
The man who justifies Mourinho's use of his favourite formation, Mkhitaryan
claimed two assists and played with effortless elan. Now to start a Premier
League game.
Rooney - 8
He has not played so well in the playmaker role for United since he was 25.
An angry asset behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a night he rolled back the years.
Martial - 8
His performance was reminiscent of his form last season. Played purposefully
on the left flank and crowned it with two more strikes.
Ibrahimovic - 8
Flourished with Martial and Mkhitaryan either side, as well as Rooney running
the attack. Finished deftly for the opener and could have scored more than
two.
Subs
Blind - 6
Steady at both ends.
Schweinsteiger - 5
Earned a rapturous ovation.
Rashford - 5
Came on too late.
