Van der sar: Steady—especially in picking up crosses—and commanded his area well. - 7
Brown: Kept Ashley Young quiet for large parts of the game—but his attacking and delivery could have been better. - 6
Evra: Good runs forward, but his defending was on several occasions suspect. - 6
Vidic: Defended very well,cancelling out Carew's aerial threat. - 8
Ferdinand: Showed why his partnership with Vidic is the best in the EPL. - 8
Carrick: Still struggling, misplaced too many passes, and low creativity. - 6
Anderson: Showed flashes of brilliance and performed admirably against Reo-Coker and Barry. - 7
Park: Good work ethic, but still short of match fitness. - 6
Ronaldo: Frustated at times and went to the ground too often—but showed great determination, strength, and awareness in giving United the lead. - 7
Giggs: Poor first half, but improved in the second and set up Ronaldo's goal. - 7
Saha: Another poor display—no wonder United is looking for a new striker. - 5

Not happy with ur ratings man..Giggs was all over the place for United..he was running like a 19 year old lad...Vidic was strong enuf to stop the aggression of Agbonlahor...9 for those two if u ask me.7 is too lw for them.

may be vidic deserved a 9 but the 8 i gave him is good enough. but giggs was very poor in the first half.his partnership with saha was poor, he upped his game in the 2nd half so may be that evens its self out. a 7 is fair for him.

I think no one let Saha's play down apart from himself. Giggs I thought did ok in the first half I wouldn't have said very poor? No one seemed to be able to link up with Saha and even when they did, his resulting play was wasted. You'd think that with so many rumours about Fergie losing patience in him, would give him a kick up the backside to get back to his best....we all know what he is capable of!
