sport news PLAYER RATINGS: Tottenham 0-1 - Marcus Rashford the ...

Marcus Rashford's goal proved the difference in Manchester United's enthralling win over Tottenham at Wembley. 

David De Gea played a crucial role with a string of fine saves that sees the visitors move level on points with fifth-placed Arsenal and continue Ole Gunnar's Solskjaer's winning start as manager.

TOTTENHAM (4-2-3-1) 

Hugo Lloris - 7

Made a number of decent stops keep Tottenham in the game. Quick to distribute to start counters.

Kieran Trippier - 5

Generally off-colour defensively and had made a number of mistakes before gifting possession in the build-up to the opener.

Toby Alderweireld – 6.5

Heung-Min Son – 6
