Fantastic game, though United became a little sloppy at the back after Vidic was subbed. Good end to end action though, I enjoyed it.
a)Rooney came on and made an immediate impact, really if not for him United might have lost it. The kid's still growing as a player, but I he's well on his way to become the world's greatest. 8/10
b)Neville played okay, at least he didn't make many mistakes defending. Decent performance, it's going to be hard for him from now on after Sir Alex said Rafael was the first choice right-back. 7/10
c)Played well in midfield, passed well, lost a few balls here and there, but for a man who's still recovering his form, it's more than you can expect. 7/10
Other key players:
Anderson
Truly controlled the midfield for United, made crucial challenges, fantastic passing, his performance was spot on. It's about time he took over Fletcher and midfield. 8.5/10
Ronaldo
Few tricks that were quite effective, but the runs down the wing were fantastic. Popped up and scored a header, fair play to the lad. 8/10
Nani
Showed his selfishness sometimes, as he always does, but today there's been a huge improvement. The runs where great, but the finishing was a bit off. 7.5/10
Evra
Great link up with Giggs and Tevez earlier, blistering pace, his crosses are still as brilliant as ever. 8.5/10
Giggs
Did his job well, but it was his crosses that really mattered. Two corners in the first half made sure United got into rhythm. 7.5/10
