Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show (because water is wet) with a hat trick, as a Harry Kane penalty and a Harry Maguire own goal briefly had Spurs level twice.

Although Tottenham dominated possession and had plenty of chances, Manchester United held firm and secured a huge win.

Below are marks out of 10 on each player and analysis.

David de Gea: 6 – Didn’t have much to do but claimed a few crosses and looked solid on set pieces.

Diogo Dalot: 7 – Solid outing and provided some threat going forward.

Raphael Varane: 7 – Assured display and used his experience to keep Kane relatively quiet.

Harry Maguire: 6.5 – Unlucky with the own goal but a few mistakes here and there. Did okay.

Alex Telles: 6 – Handball led to Kane’s penalty in the first half. Solid and worked really hard. Great corner for Ronaldo’s hat trick goal.

Fred: 7 – Lovely flicked assist to set up Ronaldo’s first goal. Was everywhere in midfield. Much more like it.

Nemanja Matic: 7 – Used his experience to settle things down. Good ball through to Sancho for United’s second goal.

Marcus Rashford: 6 – Not his best day on the ball but worked hard and pinned Reguilon back.

Paul Pogba: 7 – Had to dig deep and did that really well, especially in the second half.

Jadon Sancho: 7.5 – Really good assist for Ronaldo’s second goal. Could have tracked back better before Spurs won a penalty.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 9 – Simply sensational hat trick, as the first goal was magnificent, second was about the timing of his run and third was a brilliant leap with a header. What a machine he is and feeding
