Here are the marks out of 10 for each player in what turned out to be a very comfortable win for United.
Manchester United
David De Gea – 6 – Hardly had anything to do, distribution was good.
Antonio Valencia – 6 – Played further forward due to Herrera marking Hazard. Cool head on the ball.
Eric Bailly – 7 – Did well to keep Costa out and always looked mobile enough to cut off Hazard when he cut inside.
Marcos Rojo – 8 – Shackled Diego Costa well as the battle threatened to boil over.
Matteo Darmian – 7 – Solid display at left back from the Italian who is taking his chance.
Ander Herrera – 8 – Had Hazard in his back pocket, plus grabbed a goal and an assist.
Paul Pogba – 7 – Much more disciplined display from Pogba who made a great tackle in the first half on Hazard.
Maroaune Fellaini – 6 – Did a great defensive job but didn’t get chance to do much in attack. Steady.
Ashley Young – 6 – Did plenty of dirty work and was solid defensively. Stopped Chelsea’s full backs playing.
Jesse Lingard – 6 – Perfect foil for Rashford as he chased Chelsea’s defense down and was always on hand to link up.
Marcus Rashford – 9 – Splendid display as he finished superbly for the first, then ran Chelsea’s defense ragged.
Subs
Michael Carrick on for Jesse Lingard – 6
Zlatan Ibrahimovic on for Marcus Rashford – 5
Fosu-Mensah on for Ashley Young – 5
Chelsea
Asmir Begovic – 5 – Positioning could have been better on the first goal but not much he could do about the second.
Kurt Zouma – 5 – Shaky on the ball and looked like a man thrust into the starting lineup at the last minute due to Alonso’s injury.
David Luiz – 5 – Let Rashford go for United’s first goal and was out-muscled by the youngster time and time again. Tough afternoon.
Gary Cahill – 6 – Tried to help Chelsea’s backline together but it didn’t work.
Victor Moses – 4 – Hauled off in the second half after Conte switched him from the left flank to the right.
N'Golo Kante – 6 – Kept battling hard but had little impact on the game with Paul Pogba matching up well in the battle.
Nemanja Matic – 5 – Subbed out for a more attacking option. A decent display but not much more.
Cesar Azpilicueta – 6 – Kept trying to push forward whenever he could from wing-back but looks much more comfortable at center back.
Pedro – 4 – Wasteful in the final third and couldn’t get on the end of a chance at the back post.
Eden Hazard – 5 – So often the go-to guy for Conte but Herrera shackled him and his flashes of quality were all too rare.
Diego Costa – 5 – Lost the physical battle to Rojo and never had a sniff at goal. Shackled.

Willian on for Nemanja Matic- 5
