Man. Utd 4 vs 0 Crystal Palace : Player ratings
David de Gea
Made a routine stop at 1-0. Still strangely reluctant to come off his line at times but kept his sixth clean sheet in seven league games. 6/10
Antonio Valencia
The crowd urged him to 'Shooooot' whenever he got the ball in the final third and he often obliged. Rarely influenced the attack. 6/10
Chris Smalling
Got caught in awkward situations with Bakary Sako which gave Palace hope. Phil Jones is more secure with Eric Bailly next to him. 6/10
Phil Jones
His secure form continued with another no-nonsense performance. Covered well on the handful of occasions Palace threatened to breach United. 7/10
Ashley Young
Claimed an assist from the flank for the third week running. Tested frequently by Andros Townsend but coped well at both ends. 7/10
Marouane Fellaini
Scored his third and fourth goals of the season to increase his chances of starting at Anfield. Hardly ran the game but killed off Palace's lingering hope. 8/10
Nemanja Matic
A relatively solid afternoon from the Serb. Shielded the defence with discipline but occasionally careless with his passing. 6/10
Juan Mata
Scored his first of the season early on and enhanced the United attack with his incision and movement. 7/10
Marcus Rashford
Almost immediately justified his recall by destroying Joel Ward to assist Mata's opener. A threat throughout, made two goals and hit the post. 8/10
Henrikh Mkhitaryan
The low tempo of the game was not conducive to his strengths and he had a quieter game than in recent outings. 6/10
Romelu Lukaku
Was having his most harmless game for United, his sloppiness irked Mourinho and Lukaku missed a sitter in the second-half. Then he scored to make it 11 in 10 games. 6/10
Subs
Jesse Lingard
Created a great chance for Lukaku. 6/10
Anthony Martial
Another crowdpleasing cameo. Should have scored. 6/10
