- 13. Anders Lindegaard - 5 - Poor decision to come so far out to allow Routledge to chip him for the goal. Should have done better and had poor distribution too.
-
12. Chris Smalling - 4 - Gave Bony a free header for the winner with poor positioning and never looked comfortable on the attack. Better at centre-half.6. Jonny Evans - 6 - Perhaps also at fault for the first goal but still United's best defender on the day.5. Rio Ferdinand - 5 - Positioning poor for the first goal and looked well off the pace. Went off injured in the second half.28. Alexander Buttner - 6 - One of United's best performers... going forward. Which is odd for a defender, he was very poor defensively. However, his crosses were brilliant all night which led to the Hernandez goal.25. Antonio Valencia - 5 - Very poor in the final third, Buttner put in some far better crosses. Quiet in the second half too.23. Tom Cleverley - 6 - Created very little. Ran around well but that's just not enough.24. Darren Fletcher - 6 - Tried his best, at least attempted to get the ball up field.26. Shinji Kagawa - 4 - Failed to take his chance yet again. Lazy tracking back and failed to find an opening. Poor.19. Danny Welbeck - 6 - Dropped deep well at times but never had much of an opportunity to add to his decent goals record of late.14. Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez - 6 - Scored the goal but should have had maybe one or two more. His touch was poor again and he looks a bit unfit.
- Substitutions-
44. Adnan Januzaj - 5 - Replaced Valencia. Had some decent moments but nothing that could help United turn the game around. It didn't help that Fabio was sent off shortly after he was introduced.
22. Fabio - 0 - Replaced Ferdinand. Was only on the pitch four minutes. Clearly eager to impress but there was no need to jump in with such a reckless challenge which left United with 10 men at a crucial time.
