Rooney and Valencia are United’s star performers…
Manchester United
- 01 de Gea – 6
Not at fault for the goals, and made one especially good save.
- 12 Smalling – 5
Struggled defensively, and didn’t offer too much going forward, either.
- 03 Evra – 4
Miserable defensive show. Lucky to not concede a penalty, and should have been booked twice.
- 23 Cleverley – 6
Tidy in the middle, but rarely offers any actual match winning product.
- 06 Evans – 5
Uneasy, especially in the first half.
- 15 Vidic – 6
Solid and assured, as per usual.
- 25 Antonio Valencia (Nani – 84′ ) 7 & n/a
Easily United’s best threat from an attacking sense.
- 04 Jones – 5
Looked clumsy on the ball, and read the game poorly.
- 10 Rooney – 9
Scored twice. Is quickly overtaking Robin Van Persie as the side’s most important player.
- 26 Kagawa (Young – 84′ ) – 5 and n/a
Ineffective. Struggled to link up with Rooney like he did in midweek.
- 19 Welbeck (Hernández – 73′ ) – 5 & 5
The England man still looks quite out of shape and out of touch, and his replacement did little more.
