With qualification to the Champions League round of 16 already secured, Ralf Rangnick rotated his entire starting XI for the visit of the Swiss side.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and Jesse Lingard all returned after recent injuries, while Dean Henderson, Donny van de Beek and Juan Mata were granted rare starts and youngsters Amad and Anthony Elanga featured in attack.
Eric Bailly and captain Nemanja Matic also played, forming an unfamiliar centre-back partnership but it was Mason Greenwood, playing from the off for the first time since early November, who scored a brilliant goal early on. He must surely be an outstanding candidate for our Man of the Match award.
