MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: David de Gea 7: Another clean sheet as United made it 26 unbeaten at Old Trafford against a side with one of the worst away records in the league. A couple of nervy moments, but no costly errors like last week. Reuters
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 7: Busy afternoon against Diego Costa. Superb early tackle on Neto and headed away a 53rd minute Wolves attack. Playing with confidence. Getty
Raphael Varane 7: Encouraging that he’s back from injury. Effective in the near post area to stop several first half Wolves attacks. Super first touch to stop a ball reaching Costa just before hour mark. Will be important in the remaining weeks of the season. EPA
Victor Lindelof 7: Another put under pressure by Costa but handled it well. Getty
Luke Shaw 7: Moved to left back and just as effective. Accurate cross to set up Antony. Booked in injury-time. Getty
Casemiro 6: Booked in first half and easily beaten in one Wolves move, though he cleared the ball away from his goal. United’s midfield was fine in possession but beaten for pace out of it. His form has dropped off, but hit a fine looping shot on target nine minutes from time. Getty
Christian Eriksen 6: Struck shot wide just before half-hour mark. Was completely free in space when Antony had a chance to set him up. His partnership with Casemiro looks flatter than at any time in the season. AP
Bruno Fernandes 7: Hit a 26th minute free-kick well and on target. Put the ball forward which led to the first goal. Shot just over on 85 minutes and did the same with an 89th-minute free-kick. Perfect pass to Garnacho for the second. Important performance. Getty
Antony 8: Best player of first half. Curled a shot wide and, unmarked, headed over when he should have scored. Squared the ball to Martial for the first goal. Ran the length of the pitch with the ball before a final poor ball. Shot wide just before the hour - it’s the same most weeks with him. Finally had a shot on target in last minute. PA
Jadon Sancho 7: Little in the first half but denied by brilliant save from Bentley on his debut after he dropped his shoulder, beat his man and shot low. Just needs to be more moments like that. AP
Anthony Martial 6: 6 Slipped for no reason in an early attack but put his side ahead to ease the frustration with his eighth goal of the season. Getty
SUBS: Wout Weghorst (On for Martial 69') 6: His work led to an attack and Sancho shot on goal. Shouldered a corner over in last 10 minutes instead of headeding it. Getty

Fred (On for Eriksen 81') N/A. PA
Alejandro Garnacho (On for Sancho 82') N/A. Overhit a pass to Fernandes when United were five against three but sealed the win with a cool finish. Booked for taking off shirt after scoring. Getty
WOLVES RATINGS: Daniel Bentley 8: Did all he could to keep his side in the game with a number of good saves. Not helped by his defence for the first goal, and nothing he could do with a fine finish from Garnacho in stoppage time. AP
Nelson Semedo 6: Solid defensively for the majority of the match, but lacked conviction at times in forward areas, with his crosses dealt with fairly comfortably by the Manchester United defence. AP
Craig Dawson 6: Cleared the danger with a no-nonsense approach and passed the ball well out from the back when going more direct. Received a booking for foul on Fred close to the penalty area in moment where he had to intervene. AP
Max Kilman 5: Improved his performance in the second half after slow start, where Kilman’s slip provided Antony with a big chance. Partly to blame for the first goal when challenging high up the pitch without winning the ball, allowing the hosts to take full advantage. Getty
Toti Gomes 4: Warning signs were there when Antony exploited space behind Guinean to earn a free header in the first half, but full-back didn’t learn as he failed to track the Brazil international moments later in the build up to the first goal. PA
Matheus Nunes 6: Nunes was deployed on the right flank on this one, and didn’t impact the game as much as he does when playing in the centre. Tracked back regularly to help out Nelson Semedo. AP
Ruben Neves 7: Showed his range of passing with positive switches out to wide areas which helped spark some attacks for his side. Anticipated play well in midfield to disrupt opposition attacks. Reuters
Mario Lemina 6: Positioned himself well during breaks to block out central areas and kept things simple with his passing. A fairly quiet game overall for the 29-year-old. PA
Pedro Neto 5: Didn’t really have the opportunity to get going with Wolves failing to sustain meaningful possession. Replaced at the break with manager Julen Lopetegui injecting more pace into his side. Reuters
Matheus Cunha 4: One bright moment before the restart saw Cunha go on a positive run that beat multiple Manchester United defenders, but that looked to be an anomaly in a match where the play broke down too much when ball arrived to him. AP
Diego Costa 4: Provided an outlet to help Wolves garner possession in advanced areas, and always challenged opposition defenders in the air, but the experienced striker was never able to find himself in space to threaten the opponent’s goal. Getty
SUBS: Hwang Hee-chan (On for Neto 46') 5: Should have done better with an effort at the backpost and didn’t make the most of the situation when knocking the ball past De Gea. Link-up play was sloppy at times. AP
Daniel Podence (On for Cunha 61') 5: Showed his flair with tricks inside the box, though that did work against him late-on when trying a flick that was easily picked off by the defence. Put Hwang Hee-chan through on goal with a well-timed pass on a counter-attack. AP
Adama Traore (On for Lemina 75') 5: Brightest moment came when timing his run well down the right channel before flashing a cross into a dangerous area that won a corner. AP
