  WEST HAM RATINGS: Lukas Fabianski - 7: Not huge amount to do in first half until saving well from Martial just before break. No chance with ruthless United finishes. EPA

• 

  Fabian Balbuena - 6: Showed excellent anticipation to break up United attacks and carried the ball out from defence well in first half. Vital tackle deflected Rashford shot wide just before hour mark. Like rest of defence, struggled to cope with United’s attack in second half. Getty

• 

  Angelo Ogbonna - 6: Part of Hammers backline that barely gave Cavani, Martial and Greenwood a kick in first half. But was easily beaten by Greenwood as United attacker set-up Pogba's crucial opening goal. Left for dead again three minutes later as same player produced sublime touch and finish to make it 2-1.

• 

  Aaron Cresswell - 7: Always a willing runner down the right with one lung-bursting 60-metre sprint in first half that Masuaku decided to ignore. Lovely free-kick late on well saved by Henderson. AFP

• 

  Vladimir Coufal - 6: Flashed ball across box just after break, when he should really have went for goal himself, that Bowen couldn’t turn in on the stretch. Found Rashford's pace too hot to handle when United substitute came on. Getty

• 

  Declan Rice - 7: Breaks down play and distributes so well in the centre of the park. Lovely flick-on header that was heading for the net until poached on line by Soucek. Fantastic determination to chase down and tackle Rashford in full-flow with 15 minutes to go. Long-range effort easily saved by Henderson as Hammers chased game. Reuters

• 

  Tomas Soucek - 7: Could have earned early booking for crunching tackle on McTominay. Tapped home from a couple of centimetres after Rice header to open scoring for his second league goal of season. PA

• 

  Arthur Masuaku - 6: Good cross from left into box after 15 minutes was wasted by Haller. Failed to take advantage of a couple of excellent Cresswell overlaps. Didn’t offer enough of a threat down left. AFP

• 

  Jarrod Bowen - 8: Brilliant first half. Cut in from right in first couple of minutes and his deflected shot almost set-up Fornals with quickfire opener. Finished confidently after being put through a few minutes later but was rightly ruled offside. Scintillating wingplay down right to skin Telles followed by excellent ball into middle that Fornals could only head into side netting. Could, and probably should, have made it 2-0 just after half-time but couldn’t finish on the stretch. Ran out of steam in second 45. EPA

• 

  Pablo Fornals - 7: Denied by Henderson with first chance of game. If he’d found Bowen with through ball after 20 minutes, teammate would have been one-on-one with Henderson. Could only head into side netting after great Bowen cross on half-hour mark then prodded shot against post minutes later. PA

• 

  Sebastien Haller - 6: His pass on the stretch set up Fornals for chance that Spaniard hit against post in first half. Lovely touch followed by cross from left to Bowen on other side of penalty area. Deserved a goal when he rounded Henderson, cut back onto his right foot only to lose his footing and fall over. Disappeared in second half. Reuters

• 

  Said Benrahma - (On for Fornals 75’) 7: Looked sharp when he came on and curled one delicate chip just over bar with 10 minutes left. AFP

  Manuel Lanzini - (On for Bowen 76’) N/A. AFP

• 

  Ben Johnson - (On for Coufal 85’) N/A

• 

  Dean Henderson - 7: First Premier League start and a ropey first half where United struggled to defend corners. Fine, if controversial, pass down the line led to Pogba’s equaliser. Getty

• 

  Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 6: Smart pass in United’s first proper attack after 18 minutes. Superb recovery tackle in second half where he showed pace not seen in the stadium since Usain Bolt won gold. Still needs to cross better. Getty

• 

  Victor Lindelof - 6: Struggled like the rest in first half as West Ham surged forward on the counter attack, but far better in the second in another confusing, captivating performance. EPA

• 

  Harry Maguire - 6: As slow as the rest in the first half. With his forwards not doing it, desperately tried for an equaliser. It would come from those forwards in the end. PA

• 

  Alex Telles - 5: Poor awareness, outclassed by Bowen and his worse game so far in a United shirt. More involved as team surged forward. Getty

• 

  Donny van de Beek - 4: Struggled to compete with Rice. Club felt he’d take time to settled physically in Premier League. That was clear at West Ham. Subbed at half time – though any of the outfield players could’ve been. Reuters

• 

  Scott McTominay - 6: Poor first half in a midfield three which hadn’t played together before. Shot wide after positive move in second and better with Bruno. Weren’t they all? Getty

• 

  Paul Pogba - 6: First start in over a month, except he didn't start playing until his 66th minute goal – a curling world class finish. Loose in possession and as anonymous as the rest until he scored. Different player afterwards. AFP

• 

  Mason Greenwood - 6: Limited contribution but then outstanding first touch and powerful finish to put United ahead – and get his first PL goal of the season. Youngest player to reach 20 United goals since Norman Whiteside. Wasted a late chance. He can be forgiven. EPA

• 

  Anthony Martial - 4: Shot before half time United’s best moment of first half. But did nothing on his 25th birthday and went off injured. Getty

• 

  Edinson Cavani - 5: Better movement than the other players, but no service to find him. Taken off at half time with an injury. PA

• 

  SUBS: Marcus Rashford - (On for Cavani 46’) 8: Struck post when he should have made it 3-1, but then dinked in a lovely 77th minute third. Four shots on target, constantly running at West Ham. Made a huge difference. Getty

• 

  Bruno Fernandes - (On for Van de Beek 46’) 8: The team’s best player, he made a huge impact with his presence, passing and vision. Set up Pogba to put United ahead. AFP

• 

  Juan Mata - (On for Martial 62’) 6: Neat interplay, played his part and more effective than the man he replaced. Perfect pass for Rashford goal. Getty

Manchester United roared back to beat West Ham 3-1 on Saturday and climb into the top four of the Premier League as fans returned to the English top-flight for the first time in nine months.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men fell behind at the London Stadium but a three-goal blitz from Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford turned the tables at the London Stadium.

United, who have won nine successive league games on the road, are now fourth in the table, one point ahead of Manchester City, who earlier cruised past Fulham 2-0.

United, who started with Bruno Fernandes and Rashford on the bench, were second best in the first half and fell behind to a Tomas Soucek goal seven minutes before half-time following a Declan Rice flick-on header.

But, with 2,000 fans inside the ground, Solskjaer threw on Rashford and Fernandes for the start of the second half and United were a changed side.

Pogba equalised in the 65th minute with a superb strike from distance and minutes later United were ahead, Greenwood turning and firing home in the area.

Rashford struck a post as United looked to extend their lead, and it was the England striker who made it 3-1, 12 minutes from time.

After the match, Solskjaer said: "Football is up and down. First half we struggled to keep up with their counter attack and set plays.

"We gave the ball away too often. Poor first half, second half of course the goal changes the mood, the first one. Great goal by Paul.

At the moment we know there are things we need to improve on, some simple passes in the first half but the second half that quality came back and all three goals were exceptional."

Pogba's excellent finish from outside the box eventually stood following a VAR review to check whether goalkeeper Dean Henderson's long clearance to Rashford had curled out of play and then back in.

Hammers manager David Moyes was unhappy at the decision. "I think we played really well in patches. It we get the second goal it changes the game," he said. "Then we got a decision that went against us. But when you get disappointments you need to recover quickly.

"The ball was over my head. I had the best view. It wad definitely over the line. The players all knew. That really changes the game."
