Marouane Fellaini 7
Was seemingly given plenty of attention by Mile Jedinak throughout the game, which appeared to keep him quiet. However, the Belgian was there when the opportunity arose to put a simple header into the back of the net with Palace players sprawled around him.
Ashley Young 8
He is certainly enjoying his best season at Old Trafford, and continued that form by providing both goals. It was his crosses that both won the first-half penalty, and set up Fellaini for the winner.
Wayne Rooney 5
The captain spent most of the first-half struggling with injury, and thus, failed to make a noticeable impact upon the game, so it was no surprise when he was taken off by Louis van Gaal at half-time.
Subs
Jonny Evans 6
At times, he looked troubled by the dangerous combination of pace and power in the Palace frontline. However, he looked assured towards the end, and helped see out the victory.
Radamel Falcao 5
Because of Rooney’s injury, the Colombian played the entirety of the second-half. But, his only contribution came when he bundled the Palace defender into Speroni for the winning goal.
Paddy McNair N/A
Came on late to provide some fresh legs to help see out the 90 minutes.
