7. Angel di Maria (Thorpe, 94′) – 7
Another positive display from the British record £59.7m signing and di Maria bustled with creativity even though it eventually came to nothing.
17. Daley Blind – 5
Struggled to make any sort of impact on the game in the middle and was overshadowed by others in the starting XI.
21. Ander Herrera (Valencia, 75′) – 7
The Spaniard gave another fine performance and dispossessed Alex Song in the buildup to the second, but had to come off late with injury.
10. Wayne Rooney – 4
Early on the forward was leading by example and scored with a well taken finish, but then spoiled everything by stupidly fouling Stewart Downing to get sent off.
