- 31 Marouane Fellaini – 7
Missed a relative sitter in the first-half, but on his return from injury, probably had one his best games in a United shirt. He was combative, but his passing was also much improved.
- 16 Michael Carrick – 6
The Fellaini/Carrick partnership worked very well today, and helped United dominate possession in the centre of the park. Carrick’s passing was typically slick, and enjoyed having a real physical presence alongside him.
- 08 Juan Mata – 7
Was given the licence to roam more centrally, and definitely enjoyed the greater freedom. He played a number of clever tricks and flicks around the Palace penalty box.
