5. Jack O'Connell 7
Looked as shell-shocked as any Blade at the incredible turnaround from the visitors. Dominated Maguire at set-pieces, which is no easy task Photo: James Wilson
6. Enda Stevens 7
Looked at home against such illustrious opposition and some dangerous crosses from the left were begging to be converted Photo: Simon Bellis
7. John Lundstram 7
Could have put United ahead with an early volley which was palmed away by De Gea and was again foiled by the ‘keeper in move which led to United’s opening goal Photo: Tim Goode
8. Oliver Norwood 7
Flew into an early tackle with Jones that suggested he was well up for it against his old club. Set up United's opener with great ball for Mousset Photo: Simon Bellis
