AMR) Juan Mata – 4
Mata mainly drifted into the centre, but didn’t get in nearly enough positions where he could affect the game. When is he going to start paying back his £37m price tag?
AML) Danny Welbeck – 5 (Hernandez, 77′)
Didn’t create anything from the left, but did almost score a beautiful back-heeled flick. Not that it would have made much difference to the outcome, mind.
FC) Wayne Rooney – 6
You almost felt sorry for Rooney tonight (until you realised he earns £300k-per-week) because he toiled and toiled to no avail. There simply wasn’t the players around him to link up with, but his work-rate was typically outstanding.
