Ole Gunnar Solskjaer extended his extraordinary winning streak as Manchester United interim manager to six games, but he had David De Gea to thank for a miraculous performance at Wembley.

Spurs were denied again and again by De Gea during a second-half onslaught after Marcus Rashford had struck.

It proved the only goal of a high-octane game that saw United draw level in the Premier League with fifth-placed Arsenal and Spurs fall further behind in the title race. Below are our Red Devils player ratings …

DAVID DE GEA: Had nothing to do in the first half but won United the game with an incredible second-half display, making a string of fantastic saves. 10

ASHLEY YOUNG: One of two players to retain their place from the FA Cup win against Reading, he worked hard and provide attacking impetus. 7

VICTOR LINDELOF: Made his 50th United appearance and produced a typically solid performance. 7

PHIL JONES: Remains the only other option to partner Lindelof due to injuries and suspension. Did well enough under incessant second-half pressure. 7

LUKE SHAW: Not as much licence to maraud down the left but did his work diligently. 7

ANDER HERRERA: Nobody will question the midfielder’s workrate, but some of the quality was missing. 6

NEMANJA MATIC: Not enjoyed the best of seasons but shielded the defence well, especially in the first half. 7

JESSE LINGARD: Missed an early chance but his presence helped unsettle Tottenham in a key area of the field. 6

PAUL POGBA: Back from a leg injury that kept him out against Reading, the World Cup winner produced another excellent display under Ole Solskjaer. 8

ANTHONY MARTIAL: Tried a few tricks and flicks on the wing and stretched the backline, but faded after the break. 6

MARCUS RASHFORD: Handed the chance to continue his fine form and did just that, firing United to victory with an exceptional low strike from an acute angle. 8

SUBS

ROMELU LUKAKU (for Martial, 73): Provided a threat on the counter-attack but his side were mainly defending after coming back on. 6

DIOGO DALOT (for Lingard, 83): Brought on for late reinforcements. 6

SCOTT McTOMINAY (for Pogba, 90): His introduction was a time-wasting exercise. 5
