Luke Shaw – 7/10
United’s most impressive defender, Shaw did a good job at both ends of the pitch. His assist for Mata’s goal was excellent.
Bastian Schweinsteiger – 6/10
Had more touches of the ball than any other player on the pitch. He didn’t contribute much going forward though.
Morgan Schneiderlin – 7/10
Looked good for 69 minutes, before being replaced by Michael Carrick. Schneiderlin’s removal by Van Gaal was probably due to the fact he was on a yellow card, having been booked for a foul on Jack Cork in the first half.
Ander Herrera – 7/10
Many United fans were delighted to see Herrera keep his place in Van Gaal’s starting XI after his impressive performance in Wednesday’s 4-0 win in Bruges. The Spaniard justified his selection too, coming up with four progressive passes that led to scoring opportunities.
