Anthony Elanga, N/A. On for Rashford 90 + 1.

LEEDS UNITED RATINGS: Illan Meslier, 6 – The keeper showcased solid distribution and made a few huge saves, only to be beaten by two goals he couldn’t do much about.
Getty
Luke Ayling, 7 – The popular full-back was active, alert and composed down the flank in a true veteran’s showing.
PA
Robin Koch, 4 – After growing in confidence following an uncertain start, Koch was torched by Garnacho in the lead-up to United making it 2-0.
Action Images
Maximilian Wober, 5 – His determination and grit slowly died off, ending in him losing a step throughout the afternoon.
Getty
Junior Firpo, 4 – Should have done a much better job of covering his man for both goals.
PA
Weston McKennie, 7 – The commanding midfielder showed as much heart as any Leeds player has all season in a really strong effort.
AFP
Tyler Adams, 7 – In another impressive display, Adams looked comfortable in the middle of the park by winning several battles - even if he came slightly unstuck towards the end. PA
Crysencio Summerville, 7 – After a handful of early attacks broke down due to his own errors, the Dutchman forced some important saves in the second half. Getty
Jack Harrison, 6 – While he fought hard and showed off his incredible fitness, Harrison’s end product certainly left a lot to be desired. AFP
Wilfried Gnonto, 5 – In a frustrating outing, Gnonto couldn’t really get his footwork going and was largely bullied out of the game until a burst in the last 20 minutes.
AFP
Patrick Bamford, 4 – The main man failed to produce any kind of noteworthy moments in a performance that lacked any real urgency.
AFP
SUBS: Georginio Rutter, 6 – The 20-year-old looked right at home with his play serving Leeds well in the final third.
AP
Brenden Aaronson, N/A – The youngster struggled when it came to holding the ball and having any kind of physical presence. AP
Sam Greenwood, N/A – Barely had any time to make an impact. AP
MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: David de Gea, 7 - His 400th Premier League game. Under pressure in the first half yet Leeds only had two efforts on goal – the second from Sommerville, whom he also saved from again at the start of the second half. Poor ball out led to a Leeds shot on goal, while he saved from Sommerville again on 78. Clean sheet.
PA
Tyrell Malacia, 5 - Third minute challenge went a big way from stopping Leeds taking the lead. Then intercepted and won the ball, before a bang to the head brought play to a stop. Had a torrid time for much of game.
AP
Harry Maguire, 6 - Played well and scored in the equivalent fixture last season. “Part rotation, part tactics,” explained his boss of his selection. Saw more of the ball than any player but undid his good moments with careless errors - though he recovered after a mistake which led to Harrison attacking on 35 minutes.
AP
Luke Shaw, 7 - Chosen at the centre of defence ahead of established central defenders and did well. Ball went through his legs from a 50th minute Leeds effort. Fine cross to set up Rashford for his goal though.
AP
Diogo Dalot, 5 - Better in the second half - he was caught out by Sommerville in the first and looked adrift. Smacked a shot against the crossbar on 63. By which time Leeds’ high press was starting to run out of energy.
AFP
Fred, 7 - Booked after 20 in an all-action first half. Took the ball off Bamford after a De Gea mistake on 49. Did well to get a shot towards goal on 64 and heavily involved in an ill-tempered match. Won man of the match award.
AFP
Marcel Sabitzer, 6 - Average and a downgrade on Casemiro on the evidence so far. Ball to Shaw was key in the build up for the opener. An introduction to how physical English football can be.
AFP
Jadon Sancho, 6 - Started for the first time since October and, like Wednesday when he came on, heavily tackled from the start – Firpro was yellow carded for one on 16. Set up Fernandes soon after.
Action Images
Bruno Fernandes, 6 - Dragged a shot wide on 19 and came closest to scoring for United after 39, but Meslier got it. It was a good chance, too.
Getty
Marcus Rashford, 7 - Struggled to get in the game in the first 45, with most touches in his own half.
Stayed onside to head the winner – again – on 80. Brilliant goal. Scored in eight of last nine league games and 21 goals this season in all competitions – it’s going to be his best one. Put ball in net again, but he was offside.
PA
Wout Weghorst, 5 - Worked hard but another disappointing match – and it was an awful spectacle of a game. Put the ball in the net on 93, but he was offside. A shame. Got an assist as he set Garnacho free for the second.
Action Images
SUBS: Lisandro Martinez, 7 - On for Malacia on 61. Energy and a bit of calm and control in an encounter short of quality but one where Manchester United didn’t rise to the bait. Elland Road may be intimidating, but not if you’ve played in Argentina.
PA
Alejandro Garnacho, 7 - On for Sancho on 61. Should have scored against Leeds on Wednesday, did score against Leeds on Sunday. Fine first touch then ran with the ball and took his finish in front of the Leeds fans well.
AFP
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, N/A - On for Dalot. Got forward in the 83rd minute and could have taken a shot, but conceded possession with a ball to nowhere.
AP
Anthony Elanga, N/A. On for Rashford 90 + 1.
