Manchester United player ratings vs Chelsea as Scott McTominay and Alejandro Garnacho good

Scott McTominay was Manchester United's hero in their 2-1 Premier League win over Chelsea at Old Trafford.

After a dreadful performance against Newcastle, Erik ten Hag's team looked bright from the first whistle and that pressure paid off when McTominay found the back of the net in the 19th minute with an excellent finish. That made amends for Bruno Fernandes' missed penalty at the start of the game, but both sides created plenty of chances and Chelsea drew level through boyhood Red Cole Palmer before half-time.

McTominay gave his side a 2-1 lead in the second half with a superb header from Alejandro Garnacho's cross. The goal was allowed to stand after a VAR check. Our chief United writer Samuel Luckhurst was in the press box and here are his player ratings from the game.

Andre Onana

Denied Nicolas Jackson but could not get across to Cole Palmer's goal. Had little else to do against Chelsea's flaky forwards. 6

Diogo Dalot

Proactive in attack but his end product was often lacking and United focused on their left-hand side after half time. 6

Harry Maguire

Lacked a sufficient shield amid the Chelsea counter-attacks in the first half. Made some good interventions in the second and brought the ball out for Scott McTominay's second goal. 8

Victor Lindelof

On the back foot against Chelsea's breakaways and his return to the team ended at half-time as he made way for Sergio Reguilon. 5

Luke Shaw

Created the first chance of the night for Rasmus Hojlund and collaborated well with Alejandro Garnacho. Moved to centre half for the second half. 8

Sofyan Amrabat

Probably his best league performance for United, though they
