Manchester United player ratings: Rashford, Pogba and Blind positives in win over Hull

BY ROB DAWSON

Have a look at how the Man Utd players rated as they played Hull City at the KCOM Stadium.

Paul Pogba started for Manchester United at Hull on Saturday night.

De Gea

Had very little to do apart from watch one or two free-kicks fly wide of his post. Needed the odd catch and kick to stay warm. 6

Valencia

Fast becoming United's key attacking outlet. Will face bigger tests defensively but good going forward again. 7

Shaw

Saved United a goal in the first half by out-muscling Robert Snodgrass at the back post. Defended well all night. 7

Bailly

Solid at the back but dived in once or twice when he didn't need to. Can be happy with a clean sheet in challenging conditions. 7

Blind

Had a good first half, especially in the air as Hull tried to test him against Abel Hernandez. Had a very good game in difficult conditions. 8

Fellaini

Walked a tightrope after being booked in the first half but was disciplined afterwards. Another quietly important performance in midfield. 7

Pogba

United's best player in the first half when he drove them forward. Quieter after the break but still covered a lot of ground and looked most likely to score before Rashford's goal. 8

Mata

Worked hard on the right but it wasn't a surprise when he was replaced with Rashford midway through the second half. 6

Martial

Barely got a kick in the first half and last action was a limp shot that skidded well wide. Looks tired after a long summer with France. 5

Rooney

Lucky to stay on when Mourinho brought on Rashford and Mkhitaryan in the second half but did really well to create the chance for Rashford to score the winner. 6
