Player Ratings
De Gea -6.5
A decent game for the Spaniard. Rarely tested by the home team.
Smalling – 6
Not as good as Rafael in attack. But did a solid hob defensively.
Vidic – 7
Looks like he is back to his best again. Captained the defense superbly.
Ferdinand – 6.5
Made a good number of defensive headers and interceptions. Decent game.
Evra – 7
Typical Evra performance – made many overlapping runs and delivered good crosses.
Valencia – 6
Helped Smalling a lot in defence but he looked lackluster when attacking.
Fellaini – 4
Made a good contribution in the middle before he was sent off for getting two yellow cards.
Giggs – 6
950th appearance for the United legend, He provided some needed creativity in the middle.
Kagawa – 7
A good game for the Japanese international. He was solid both in wings and also in center (after Rooney was subbed)
Rooney – 6
Did a lot of tracking back but offered very less cutting edge. Subbed in the second half.
Hernandez – 5
Did not receive much support from his team mates but he has to take the blame for missing a great chance from close range.
Subs
Van Persie – 6
Unlucky not to score as he hit the post twice after coming on. Penalty miss may hurt his confidence.
Young – 7
Energetic performance by the English winger. Made some good dribbles and crosses.
Jones – N/A
