Bruno Fernandes, Victor Lindelof and Daniel James also scored when Leeds scored two consolations through Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas.
Here are SunSport’s Anthony Chapman United player ratings.
DAVID DE GEA – 7
He did his duty when asked even though he only faced three shots on target from Leeds.
He made a good save from Raphinha in the first half despite an offside goal being ruled out, then denied the Brazilian a second time.
AARON WAN-BISSAKA –7
Always alert to danger while heading to the right flank.
She didn’t let much more of him pass by and bonded well with James.
6
VICTOR LINDELOF – 8
The pace was necessary in defense, but it also paid off in attack.
Lindelof pounced on the back post to drive United’s fourth and cap off a good game.
HARRY MAGUIRE – 7
Tonight he looked like a captain with an imposing performance.
He organized his defense well and made it difficult for Leeds to fire shots on goal.
6
LUKE SHAW – 7
He seemed composed higher up the field, but was found to be lacking once or twice on defense.
You know you have Alex Telles breathing down your neck and you should be cheering for your effort today.
SCOTT McTOMINAY – 9 (MOTM)
Incredible display of goals from the Scotsman when he put United two goals up in the first three minutes.
He worked his socks in midfield and matched the intensity of Leeds throughout the game while also receiving an assist later on.
6
FRED – 7
Eclipsed by his midfield partner but pretty solid.
He was often overlooked by Leeds’ swift attacks and occasionally struggled to track down his runner.
DANIEL JAMES – 8
He received a yellow for diving, but still had his best games in the United jersey for months.
Pace gave the Leeds defense a lot of trouble and capped their performance with a good finish.
6
BRUNO FERNANDES – 8
Another good performance from the playmaker as he prepared.
He prepares McTominay for United’s opener before entering the roster to make it 3-0 and score sixth from the point.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 8
Full of confidence after his award from the Fifa Foundation during the week.
He set the tone with excellent dribbling and runs, putting the Leeds defense in the rear from minute one.
6
ANTHONY MARTIAL – 8
Excellent attack performance from the sometimes inconsistent French.
He left Old Trafford with two assists and was a constant threat with his movement through the channels.
SUBS
Alex Telles (for Shaw, 60 ‘) – 7
He kept United’s left looking solid and made a good defensive header clearance shortly after entering.
Edinson Cavani (by Rashford, 70 ‘) – 6
He displayed flashes of excellence as he stalked Leeds’s grueling bottom line.
Donny van de Beek (for Fernandes, 70 ‘) – 6
He ensured United remained dominant in the middle with intense pressure and precise passing.
