AMR) Juan Mata – 6
Offered balance to the side without producing anything spectacular, but may have done enough to keep Angel di Maria out of the side.
ACM) Marouane Fellaini – 9
A complete performance from the Belgian where he displayed his technical qualities more than his physical prowess and scored a wonderful goal.
CF) Wayne Rooney – 9
Van Gaal may have found his 20 goal-a-season striker after England’s main man scored a brilliant solo goal. He might also think about getting knocked out before every match?
Substitues:
Radamel Falcao – N/A
Came on for Fellaini to show that he is still very much part of the first team team despite his appearance for the U21.
Andreas Perreira – 6
Introduced for Mata with 13 minutes to go, but was anonymous for the dying embers of the game.
Rafael – N/A
Came on late on as Michael Carrick was offered a standing ovation.
