Tottenham (4-2-3-1)

Hugo Lloris Fingertips could not repel Rashford’s winner and had his hands full keeping out a series of efforts. 6

Kieran Trippier His loose pass proved costly as possession was given up en route to United’s goal. 6

Toby Alderweireld Came so close to equalising with a canny near-post shot but De Gea was up to it. 6

Jan Vertonghen Not the easiest task to come back from a month out and the Belgian looked a little rusty. 6

Ben Davies Selected ahead of Danny Rose he did not show a superior performance at left-back. 6

Moussa Sissoko Pulled up mid-sprint with a muscle strain in the first half and was replaced by Érik Lamela. 5

Harry Winks In the right place for a couple of early shots but keeping track of Pogba proved a challenge. 6

Christian Eriksen Full of endeavour trying to pull strings, the arch-creator did his bit but the killer pass did not come. 7

Son Heung-min Final game before leaving for Asian Cup but he was unable to weave more magic on his farewell. 6

Dele Alli Was involved with some creative passing and movement but came up short in three key duels with De Gea. Booked. 7

Harry Kane Nudged the ball over the line in the first half but was offside and De Gea thwarted other efforts. 7

Manchester United (4-3-3)

David de Gea Another day at the superhuman office. Made a compilation of stunning saves look easy. 10

Ashley Young A fine cross served up an excellent chance for Pogba when he joined United’s attack. 7

Victor Lindelöf Was not shy to make a physical challenge to try to hold his team’s defensive ground. 7

Phil Jones In a game when Spurs had an abundance of chances, he did not feel any serious discomfort. 7

Luke Shaw Renewed confidence is there for all to see and he looked comfortable and focused. 7

Ander Herrera Concentrated on tidying up in front of the back four, a job he did diligently and securely. 8

Nemanja Matic Important block to deny Kane a shot on target, helped the second-half rearguard action solidly. 7

Jesse Lingard Buzzed busily in the service of the team, he instigated the goal with an alert interception. 7

Paul Pogba Involved and influential. His assist, a precision pass upfield, was masterful. Unlucky not to score. 9

Anthony Martial Threatened with occasional high-speed runs from the flank before being substituted. 7

Marcus Rashford The leader of United’s energised attacking line scored the winner – his shot was early and deadly. 8
