Forwards and Substitutes
Charlie Austin, Striker – 5.5
He huffed and he puffed but Austin was unable to trouble the score-sheet at Old Trafford. There was plenty to applaud as the striker went out his business with industry and to many observers, Austin is cutting a fitter, slimmer figure than earlier in the season. Hauled off in the second half but could be another key figure in the remaining nine games this season.
Nathan Redmond, Striker – 6
A subdued performance at times, Redmond nevertheless kept on working hard and the United defence were clearly worried about his pace on the counter attack. He will be an influential player with games to come including Huddersfield and Bournemouth.
Stuart Armstrong, Substitute – 5
Usual energetic self but struggled to impose himself in the game and gave away a late penalty with a careless tackle. Reprieved by Gunn, he did not do enough to convince Hasenhuttl that he deserves to start over Ward-Prowse.
Sam Gallagher, Substitute – N/A
Send on in the 90th minute with no chance to influence the game.
