Erik ten Hag's team fight for 1-0 win at Old Trafford

Andre Onana 7/10

MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: Andre Onana - 7/10. After consecutive 3-0 home defeats, he made three decent first half saves, from Lockyer and Morris. Another clean sheet in the league. AFP

Sergio Reguilon 6/10

Sergio Reguilon - 6. Played high with Garnacho. Dived in to foul former United player Chong and conceded a free kick. Unconvincing, though crossed well for Fernandes. EPA

Victor Lindelof 7/10

Victor Lindelof - 7. Too many touches in the first half, then he scored his first goal for three years, a strong finish into the centre of the Stretford End goal. Supported the attack well. Moved to left back for last 20 and tackled well, though a couple of silly late fouls. More touches than anyone on the field. APShow less

Harry Maguire 7/10

Harry Maguire - 7. Started over Varane again and kept the momentum of United’s first attack and his cross field balls kept the impetus going. Words with McTominay, but another highly competent performance. AFPShow less

Diogo Dalot 6/10

Diogo Dalot - 6. Switched back to right-back and he provided width. Took his usual wild shot – this time a volley on 88 which landed in Altrincham. Reuters

Christian Eriksen 5/10

Christian Eriksen - 5. Came off injured after 39. A shame, he’s needed with Casemiro being out. PA

Scott McTominay 7/10

Scott McTominay - 7. His fourth consecutive Premier League start, the joint top league scorer headed over on 15. Well tracked by Doughty, then worked his way into the box to head a Fernandes cross. Did the simple stuff well. APShow less

Alejandro Garnacho 6/10

Alejandro Garnacho - 6. Lively start on left. Ran towards goal and shot well over on 19. Too hesitant as he tried to round the keeper on 40. You have to put those away. Moved to the right in the second. EPAShow less

Bruno Fernandes 6/10

Bruno Fernandes - 6. Hooked a shot well over on 23, crossed well to McTominay on 81. A 93rd minute free-kick flew over. A creative force, he needs to form a partnership with Hojlund. AFP

Marcus Rashford 5/10

Marcus Rashford - 5. His 250th Premier League game, he half volleyed a Fernandes cross towards goal on 30. Crossed into a dangerous area on 57 as he started to impact on the game. Involved in build up to opening goal. Went for a central finish on 69 when one on one with Kaminski. PAShow less

Rasmus Hojlund 5/10

Rasmus Hojlund - 5. Kneed a Rashford cross towards goal on 9 and should have scored, but Kaminski saved well. Set up Garnacho on 41, then headed wide on 48 when he should have hit the target. Quiet in second half and came off, holding his hamstring. EPAShow less

Mason Mount 7/10

SUBS: Mason Mount (Eriksen 39') - 7. Gave the ball away badly on 65 after United went ahead but didn’t have control of the goal. Still, he moved well, recovered the ball, dribbled and passed the ball well, especially in the final third. AFPShow less

Antony 6/10

Antony (Garnacho 67') - 6. Ran towards goal and fed the ball to Rashford who shot straight at the goalkeeper. EPA

Anthony Martial 5/10

Anthony Martial (Hojlund 78') - 5. Needed to keep the ball in the corner on 95. Didn’t. Reuters

Victor Lindelof eased the pressure on Erik ten Hag by scoring only his fourth goal in 246 appearances as Manchester United defeated Luton 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Lindelof swept home a 59th-minute winner at Old Trafford to secure back-to-back league wins for United for only the second time this season with his first goal in three years.

“I don’t score many goals and when I do it’s always fun," Lindelof said. "It’s fun to help the team and today it was the match winner, the most important thing is always to get the three points so I’m glad we could today.”

United had suffered five defeats in their previous 10 home games this season, their worst start to a campaign at Old Trafford since 1930-31. They were also rocked by Wednesday's devastating Champions League group stage loss in Copenhagen.

United manager Erik ten Hag has come under increasing pressure after his team's disappointing start to the campaign. But victory against Luton was a positive response to Wednesday's Champions League defeat in Copenhagen and was the team's fourth win in five in the Premier League.

“If you see all the trouble we had, we are in a very good position,” Ten Hag said. “That is a reason to be optimistic.”
