Team Ratings: Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 14/09/2013




1. David De Gea- 7 - Not much to do but solid.
22. Fabio Da Silva - 7 - Attacked well, not really tested defensively.
5. Rio Ferdinand - 6 - Slip in first half could have proved costly.
15. Nemanja Vidic - 7 - Did what was needed, good in the air.
3. Patrice Evra - 7 - Linked up well with Young, on another day could have had an assist.
25. Antonio Valencia - 6 - Not much service in first half, livelier in the second but with a lack of end product.
16. Michael Carrick - 8 - Hard to get his passing going in a packed midfield. Terrific turn in the first half.
8. Anderson - 6 - Struggled to fight for his place and replaced in the second half by new boy Fellaini.
18. Ashley Young - 6 - Frustrating. Needs to apply himself better to earn those assists and goals.
10. Wayne Rooney - 9 - Excellent work rate as always. Scored a fantastic free-kick. The key to United's success.
20. Robin Van Persie - 7 - Scored the penalty but looked a little tired after two international games with Holland.

Substitutions-

31. Marouane Fellaini - 8 - Replaced Anderson. Very lively debut. Won every header and tackle he went in for. Unlucky not to score.
44. Adnan Januzaj - 8 - Replaced Young. Great cameo from the youngster, terrorised the Crystal Palace defence.
14. Javier Chicharito Hernandez - 6 - Replaced Van Persie. Not much to go off but probably should have scored at the end.
