I thought he did very well today. Arguably our best player today.
 
Fantastic today. Tuck him back in the pocket against your speedier PL attacks. But against Burnley he did the job and worked his magic. Beast of a mentality, hungry for work.
 
Got hated by everyone but this guy is the perfect United mentality. Gives his 100% on the pitch whenever he steps on. Respect and love him.
 
Probably about time the narrative on him changes in general. He’s a good player, and played very well today.
 
Thought he was MOTM today. Tactically his selection was a masterstroke. Playing deeper and dealing with everything aerially. He also was quite comfortable on the ball (they didn't press much) and did everything right really. Took loads of pressure off Smalling and Lindelof.
 
Fellaini was brilliant tactically today. I haven't made a secret of the fact I wanted him gone in the summer but, for all my criticism, he didn't put a foot wrong in possession or out of possession. MOTM today IMO.
 
Pity he wasn't 100% fit for Brighton, he seems to be made for these tricky away games against weaker teams.
 
He was very good. He was very deep and even under pressure he didn't panic. He did some nice turns and passed the ball well.

He played as deep player or even as a third CB few times. One of the big reason for the clean sheet.
 
The one player I dislike the most but he did very very well today. Even on the ball he was fine.
 
There were some snide comments about him being in the line up from some journo rats beforehand. Once again he makes them look a bit stupid.
 
Great performance. Actually better than Matic on that deep role on current form. Pleased for him!
 
He had a great game. Always in the right place, never giving the ball away and moving it quite quickly. He’s earned the spot for the next game.
 
Wasn't super pleased to see him in the lineup but have no complaints with the performance. Played his part perfectly and among our best today.
 
The reason why the defense looked so good. Brilliant performance from him
 
Hasn't had a bad game yet, this season. Deserved start and a great performance. Good decision by Jose.
 
Between him, Matic and pogba, we bossed the midfield today. Very composed and sure performance.
 
Thought he was good today. Just quietly went about his buisness. Did well drifting in and out of defence, was quite impressed with his work.
 
My man of the match. Was an absolute rock, and a big reason as to why we didn't look so shaky defending set pieces, in my opinion. Screened the back four and won more or less everything against a physical Burnley side, who like to play direct football.
 
Decent today. He looks far better when playing as part of a system, rather than being the crutch brought on for the sake of changing things up.
I can accept him being here when used like this, but I know we'll see more of the other too.

When was the last time he actually had a bad game?

He rarely has bad games these days. He's had many performances like today, under Mourinho especially and in LVG's first season. Which made it all the more confusing, when there was a huge meltdown, when he signed the new contract. Post Moyes, he has been solid, a really good squad player.
 
He's a good player to nullify opponents. We look much better with a player dropping into defence to allow both full backs to attack. Long may this continue.
 
Playing in holding midfielder role today as 3rd centre back to protect the back four especially during the cross. Jose probably not trusting Lindelof's aerial duel against Burnley's strikers, and Fellaini has been bossing all the headers today.
 
He put in a good shift today. This is the proper utilisation of him and not as a target man to try and salvage the game.
