goal.comTomasz Kuszczak: 6.5 - Rarely troubled. Made some smart saves when called upon.
Wes Brown: 6.0 - Did not have so much to deal with. Allowed Maloney some time to fire a shot off in the second half. Filled in quite well after Ferdinand was substituted.
Patrice Evra: 7.0 - Another steady performance from the Frenchman. Supported his front-men well and was reliable in defence.
Rio Ferdinand: 6.5 - Under-employed in a game with little for him to deal with. Ferguson allowed him a 30 minute rest.
Nemanja Vidic: 6.0 - Was a little rash in the tackle that got him booked and challenged immaturely on Harewood - it allowed Maloney Villa’s best chance.
Paul Schloes: 7.5 - Provided a fine defensive barrier in unison with Carrick and his clever passes are irreplaceable. Another top-class display.
Michael Carrick: 8.0 - How he failed to make Capello’s England team is a mystery. Such an effective user of the ball when he has it - and wins it often enough with perfectly timed and read tackles.
Ryan Giggs: 8.0 - A vintage performance from the captain. The vision he has acquired over the years rubs off on his younger team mates. Made things happen whenever he had possession. A slight tweak kept him out of the final five minutes.
Cristiano Ronaldo: 9 - A game full of accurate passing, dangerous shooting and fine individual skill… Par for the course then for the league’s most valuable player. A goal and three assists sends out a dangerous message to Roma.
Wayne Rooney: 8.5 - A brace for United’s Man-of-the-Match. His position was constantly changing - deep, long, short - it meant that he could slingshot his wider colleagues into goal-threatening positions. A different player for United than England - infinitely more effective and capable.
Carlos Tevez: 8.0 - Has become a pertinent member of this side - he effortlessly linked with his colleague and capped a fine, intricate and guile-filled performance with a goal typical of his character - tenacious and determined.
Subs:
John O’Shea: 6.5 - Had practically nothing to contend with.
Anderson: n/a
Owen Hargreaves: 7.0 - Added a different dimension to United’s attack when he was introduced as an auxiliary right-back. Constantly overlapped, using his superior energy levels.
