Bernd Leno: On his toes to make an early save from Lisandro Martinez and scrambling when Matheus Cunha's effort looped on to a post. Denied Bryan Mbeumo with full-length save. 7

Timothy Castagne: Booked for bringing Marcus Rashford down as Manchester United broke in the second half. 6

David Affengruber: Excellent defence-splitting pass to release Josh King, but he couldn't finish. Exceptionally fortunate to escape after being outwitted by Cunha close to the goalline but stepped in to take the ball off Mbeumo as he looked to counter. 7

Calvin Bassey: Not the easiest game positionally as Manchester United played without an orthodox centre-forward. Got forward to create Fulham's goal. 7

Antonee Robinson: Pushed into advanced areas in the inside forward position, which caused the visitors a defensive issue. 7

Sander Berge (Off, Larsson 76): Shot from the edge of the area turned away by Senne Lammens. 7

Shea Charles: Midfield partnership with Berge was key in protecting the Fulham defence when the visitors had extended spells of possession around the home area. Passing let him down on occasion. 6

Oscar Bobb (off Kevin, 70): Rolled an effort just wide of the post and probably should have done better. 6

Josh King (off Andersen, 79): Always looking to get on the ball and threaten. Took a good save from Lammens to deny him at the far post and his shot across goal was going in without the visitors' keeper kicking it away. Blotted his copybook by getting booked for diving. 8

Alex Iwobi (off Palacios, 70): Also tried to exploit the inside left channel when Fulham went forward. Low cross almost created a chance for Gonzalo Garcia and another deep one did for King. 7

Gonzalo Garcia (off Muniz, 79): Half a stride away from having a tap-in from an Iwobi cross from the left. 6

Subs:

Palacios (on 70, Iwobi): Kept Fulham ticking over. 6

Kevin (on 70, Bobb): Settled in well. 6

Larsson (on 76, Berge): 6

Muniz (on 79, Garcia): 6

Andersen (on 79, King): 6

Subs not used: Lecomte, Manuel Angel, Sessegnon, Smith Rowe.

Senne Lammens: Key first-half saves to keep Manchester United level and came out bravely at Iwobi's feet to prevent another Fulham chance. Distribution could have been better and he didn't cover himself in glory with the Fulham goal. 6

Diogo Dalot: Tidy spin and dash into space to create a chance for Rashford but had too much work to do defensively as he lacked cover far too often. 6

Harry Maguire: Used his experience to draw a foul out of King as United tried to deal with Fulham pressure near their own goal. 7

Lisandro Martinez: Well-struck half-volley drew an excellent save out of Leno. He did eventually find the net - at the wrong end. 5

Luke Shaw (off Dorgu, 83): Returned from a three-match absence. Carrick's side are far more balanced when he is there. 7

Youri Tielemans: Wasted an excellent opportunity when he got no power behind his effort as he ran on to Rashford's short pass. 5

Kobbie Mainoo (off 79, Mount): Usual tidy game in possession without making the key passes. Never looks flustered. 7

Bryan Mbeumo: A lot of strong runs but, like many Man Utd forwards, nowhere near his best. Tough ask, but did he give Dalot enough defensive support? 6

Bruno Fernandes: Low shot against the post from Cunha cut-back but once more not at last season's levels. 6

Marcus Rashford (off 76, Zirkzee): Tried to set up Tielemans with a short pass but the Belgian couldn't finish. An attempt of his own before the break was saved by Leno and another, better opportunity flew way over the bar. 6

Matheus Cunha: Again started in the number nine role he doesn't seem suited to but created an excellent opportunity for Fernandes. Deflected shot hit the post and spun wide. Probably the visitors' most dangerous forward. 7

Subs:

Zirkzee (on 76, Rashford): 6

Mount (on 79, Mainoo): 6

Dorgu (on 83, Shaw): 7

Subs not used: Darlow, Mazraoui, Mount, Yoro, Andrey Santos, Baleba, Lacey.
