Paul Pogba silenced his critics with a dominating performance in midfield whilst Harry Kane had a day to forget in front of goal for the visitors.

However Marouane Fellaini's arrival was marred by boos from his own fans whilst warming up and again when he was substituted on. 

Whilst Mkhitaryan grabbed the praise, one of his team-mates shone brightest as SunSport reveal the Dream Team player ratings.
