SCOTT MCTOMINAY proved his worth with both goals as Manchester United beat Chelsea 2-1 on Wednesday night.

The midfielder scored either side of Cole Palmer’s equaliser to secure all three points at Old Trafford.

Alejandro Garnacho also shone for Erik ten Hag’s side as they bounced back from their defeat at Newcastle.

However, captain Bruno Fernandes had a mare from the penalty spot before McTominay opened the scoring, with his effort saved by Robert Sanchez.

Here is how SunSport’s Martin Blackburn rated the United performances…

Andre Onana – 6

Great stop to deny Jackson as he went clean through in the first half will do his confidence the power of good. Well beaten by Palmer for Chelsea goal.

Diogo Dalot – 6

Picked ahead of Wan Bissaka at right back and justified the manager’s decision this time. Did his bit defensively and pinged over a couple of useful crosses.

Harry Maguire – 8

Had a hand in opening goal as his shot was saved. Brilliant interception to stop Jackson racing clear. What a return to favour the England man is having.

Could not get a foot in on Palmer as he equalised for United. The home side looked open to Chelsea breaks in the first half and the Swede did not reappear for the second half.

Luke Shaw – 7

Needless booking for kicking the ball away early on but showed his versatility by moving to centre back second half. United look a much better team with him back in the side after long lay off.

Scott McTominay – 9

Again proved to be United’s matchwinner and should have had the match-ball. Steered home to put United ahead and rose at the back post to nod the second.

Sofyan Amrabat – 8

Lost possession badly early on and it almost proved costly but otherwise an impressive game for the Moroccan. Looks much better in the middle than at left back.

Antony – 6

Won the penalty after foul by Fernandez Poked a deflected shot just wide second half but United fans would still like to see more for the money they spent on him.

Bruno Fernandes – 6

Disappointing penalty was too easy for Sanchez and a couple of other chances too – but the Portuguese never hides and he kept the team ticking.

Alejandro Garnacho – 8

Provided the crosses for both United goals.  Tried another of his bicycle kicks but this one was miles off. The fans will forgive him though.

Got the nod ahead of Rashford. Offside for opening goal but luckily was not interfering. Shot over in first few mins his only chance of note. Standing ovation when he was subbed late on.

SUBSSergio Reguilon (for Lindelof 46) – 6

A couple of crucial interceptions.

Marcus Rashford (for Hojlund 84) – 5

Mixed reception when he was brought on late.

Jonny Evans (for Garnacho 90) – 5

Brought on at the end to shore things up.
