Manchester United beat CSKA Moscow 2-1 at Old Trafford to go through to the second round of the Champions League as group winners. The Russian side went 1-0 up after scoring a controversial opener, but Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford struck for Jose Mourinho’s team to confirm what turned out to be a pretty routine win for the home side. Let’s see how the United players rated …
Romero 7
Calm and composed as usual, had no chance with CSKA’s goal.
Lindelöf 7
Another solid display by the rapidly improving Swede.
Smalling 7
Rarely troubled, and looked dangerous from set pieces.
Blind 7
Defended well and good distribution out from the back.
A Valencia 7
United’s Mr.Consitent covered a huge amount of ground in attack and defence.
Herrera 7
Pressed well and tidy in possession.
Pogba 9 ( MOTM )
Sublime assist for Lukaku’s goal, and his eye for a defence splitting pass, make United a different team.
Shaw 8
A really impressive return to action for the out of favour left-back.
R Lukaku 8
Linked the play well and got himself a much needed goal, that will do wonders for his confidence.
Rashford 8
Took his goal well and his pace caused CSKA’s defence problems all night.
Substitutes
Tuanzebe 7
Rewarded his managers faith with a decent cameo at right-back
McTominay 7
His third Champions League appearance of the season, and has never looked out of place.
Martial 7
Looked dangerous, but was unable to get the chance to score he craved.
