Manchester United needed a slice of luck to leave west London as the victors in what was a low-quality contest against Fulham on Sunday night. Ruben Amorim's side looked to be heading for a stalemate until Lisandro Martinez's speculative strike deflected in over Bernd Leno to send the travelling fans into delirium.

While the likes of Harry Maguire and Martinez came away with credit in the bank, this was still a display that raised plenty of questions about the capability of Manchester United right now. For Fulham this was an off-night where they were unable to get their most dangerous players into any positions that could hurt Manchester United.

Mail Sport's NATHAN SALT runs the rule over how each Manchester United star performed at Craven Cottage. Lisandro Martinez scored a match-winning goal to help Manchester United to victory at Fulham. The Manchester United No 6 was mobbed by team-mates after his strike deflected in late on.

Ruben Amorim has now overseen four wins in five games despite concerns over performances. Andre Onana - 6. Did his job in what was a dreadfully poor game from both attacks. Alex Iwobi stung his gloves with a low drive early on but it was routine from then on.

Matthjis de Ligt - 6.5. Made a number of key blocks and clearances that helped reduce the efficiency of Fulham’s left side - their strongest asset both attacking and defending. Went 32/27 on his passing and appears to be growing in confidence the longer he plays alongside Harry Maguire.

Harry Maguire - 7.5. Best player on the pitch. Ruben Amorim is missing a lot of things right now but he knows he can lean on the England centre back for leadership and his interventions ensured a clean sheet on the road here for the Red Devils. Has been a model of consistency for weeks now.
