Mason Greenwood 7, Donny van de Beek 5; Declan Rice 5, Pablo Fornals 4: Manchester United v West Ham player ratings

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's stars edge through to FA Cup quarter-finals

MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: Dean Henderson, 7 - Was barely needed in the first half and stood amid falling snow for much of the second as West Ham improved but had only one effort on goal to save in the first 90 minutes. Reuters

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 6 - Almost sliced a clearance into his own goal but made some key tackles. Reuters

Victor Lindelof, 6 - Headed towards goal after 26 minutes but deflated when a superb Fabianski save denied him. Lost possession to Fornals to leave West Ham 3 vs 2. They couldn’t take advantage. Reuters

Harry Maguire, 7 - Did nothing wrong as his team enjoyed 70 per cent possession. United’s captain will face far tougher tests, but the clean sheet from a defence that concedes too many goals will be welcomed. Reuters

Alex Telles, 8 - United’s best player in the first half and showed Luke Shaw-like attacking intent. Lovely ball to Martial. Outpaced Yarmolenko. AP

Nemanja Matic, 6 - Shot well over after 20 minutes. Did what he does but limited in impact against a team playing so deep. EPA

Fred, 6 - Energetic but lost possession too often on a night short of entertainment. Reuters

Mason Greenwood, 7 - Best bit of the first half when he beat Mark Noble for skill. Lively until he went off – his cross set up Rashford - and less peripheral than he’d been in some early season games. Reuters

Donny van der Beek, 5 - Barely starts. Barely featured when he did start. Played in an advanced role behind Martial, but ineffective. It wasn’t the game for a player like him as West Ham sat deep and United had all the possession. He’s a player who arrives in the box, but it was already packed with Hammers. AP

Marcus Rashford, 6 - 250th United appearance. Hoped to add to his 83 goals but Fabianski took advantage of him chesting the ball. Perfect touch to set up the winner. Still running until the 120th minute. He’s in the last eight of the FA Cup again, though, as United made that stage for a seventh consecutive season. EPA

Anthony Martial, 6 - 250th United appearance like Rashford. Had first shot of game which was blocked by Ogbona. Brave header away from his own goal after 36 minutes. Battled against West Ham’s defensive wall, had nice touches and drove forward for the goal, but couldn’t score himself. Last shot of the game as, like Rashford, he battled to the end on a tough night. Reuters

SUBS: Bruno Fernandes, 6 - On for Van de Beek after 72 minutes and his first instinct was to attack.

Scott McTominay, 7 - On for Matic after 72 minutes and did what he’s been doing so frequently at Old Trafford – he scored. The 24-year-old has added a key part to his game which none of his defensive midfielders have: goals. EPA

Edinson Cavani, 6 - On for Greenwood after 85 minutes and made runs off the shoulder of defenders. Gives United a different dimension. EPA

Luke Shaw, 6 - On for Telles for extra time for that energy boost. Reuters

Brandon Williams, 6 - On for Wan Bissaka. Important tackle on Benrahma after 120 minutes to prevent a ball going into the box and a possible last gasp equaliser as we saw at the weekend. EPA

WEST HAM RATINGS: Lucasz Fabianski, 7 - Outside of the goal Fabianski was really impressive at Old Trafford with his shining moment being a great 27th minute save from a deflection. AFP

Aaron Cresswell, 7 - Looked confident on the ball, produced several vital blocks and generally showcased why he’s such a valuable defensive asset for the Hammers. AFP

Angelo Ogbonna, N/A - Showed clear and direct focus on the task at hand before unfortunately being taken off due to injury after 16 minutes. AP

Craig Dawson, 7 - Served as a solid final line of defence with his aerial work being unmatched by any other player on the pitch. AFP

Vladimir Coufal, 6 - Regularly put pressure on United’s forwards and while he may have been caught out for pace on occasion, he was still as committed as ever. Getty

Mark Noble, 6 - The veteran was chasing shadows for large spells of the game but still put his body on the line at every available opportunity. AFP

Declan Rice, 5 - The composure and elegance shown on the ball by Rice was somewhat spoilt when he lost the ball with a questionable touch that led to the winning goal. EPA

Jarrod Bowen, 5 - He may enjoy running down the flank with intent, however, Bowen’s decision making and end product need some major work. AFP

Pablo Fornals, 4 - Overhit passes, poor spatial awareness and no urgency on the ball makes for a triplet threat of reasons as to why this wasn’t Fornals’ night. Getty

Tomas Soucek, 6 - Had to sit deeper than he would’ve liked but still came up with some bright moments - even if they were too few and far between. AP

Andriy Yarmolenko, 5 - The inconsistent forward didn’t cause the hosts any serious problems before being substituted. PA

SUBS: Ryan Fredericks, 6 - Was really alert to every movement after being brought on, even if that did lay the groundwork for quite a chaotic and inconsistent performance. AP

Ben Johnson, 8 - Confident, assured in possession and arguably the most exciting threat West Ham had at their disposal. Reuters

Issa Diop, 6 - Was switched on but looked better when resorting to powerful clearances as opposed to anything more in-depth. AFP

Ademipo Odubeko, 4 - The youngster was clearly nervous and wasn’t quite ready for a game of this magnitude so early on in his career. Getty

Said Benrahma, 6 - Should have done better with his header in injury time, and outside of that, didn’t do much to get West Ham moving. Getty

Manuel Lanzini, N/A - Active and hungry for the ball but couldn’t provide enough of a spark to secure an equaliser for the visitors. EPA

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased with his players' attitude and focus as Manchester United progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals with an extra-time win against West Ham.

Having seen victory ripped from their grasp with the last kick against Everton on Saturday, the Red Devils produced a positive response to that frustrating 3-3 Premier League draw.

United had to dig deep against former manager David Moyes' in-form West Ham side, with substitute Scott McTominay meeting Marcus Rashford's fine lay-off with a thumping strike to secure a 1-0 victory in extra time.

"Of course going through is always the main thing in the cup," said Solskjaer, who is looking for his first trophy in the Old Trafford hotseat.

"And for us bouncing back after the disappointing last kick of the ball the other day, so very pleased with the mentality, how they reset their attitude and we're positive about going through.

"I think the players saw the game out really well. We are getting stronger and fitter."
