Julian Speroni – 7.5/10
Speroni, who looked unbeatable at times was unlucky to be beaten by his own defender early on and then by a sumptuous Darmian strike. He made an excellent save to deny Martial late in the first half and then denied Rashford and Lingard with two brilliant back-to-back saves in the second half.
Martin Kelly – 4/10
The former Liverpool man had a miserable night as Anthony Martial completely dominated him with his menacing runs.
Adrian Mariappa – 5/10
Mariappa was made to sweat by Martial and Rashford for the majority of the contest. He was also not helped by his partner who scored an own-goal.
Damien Delaney – 4/10
Delaney kicked the ball in his own net in an attempt to clear Darmian’s cross in the initial stages of the match. His performance was below par as well to cap off a miserable day.
Pape Ndiaye Souare – 4/10
Souare was troubled a lot by Valencia’s pacy forward runs. He also picked up a yellow card late in the first-half.
Yohan Cabaye – 5/10

Jedinak was his usual calm self in the midfield. However, he was not able to stop Rooney and Schneiderlin from completely dominating the midfield.
