Team Ratings: Norwich City vs Manchester United 28/12/2013

1. David De Gea - 8 - Kept United in the game in the first half with two great saves.

12. Chris Smalling - 8 - Made some vital clearances and managed to keep Redmond quiet, particularly in the second half. 

15. Nemanja Vidic - 8 - In confident form with some good interceptions and headers.

6. Jonny Evans - 8 - Made two fantastic blocks in the first half and kept calm under constant pressure.
3. Patrice Evra - 6 - He made 17 clearances and won five aerial battles but it was still a poor performance, especially in the first half, as he was often out of position and too often exposed defensively. His positioning was all wrong and many of Norwich's best chances came down the right. Lucky not to be punished.

11. Ryan Giggs - 5 - Largely anonymous and taken off at half time.

16. Michael Carrick - 6 - Rusty after his spell out but completed 90% of his passes in a performance that improved in the second half.

23. Tom Cleverley - 7 - Neat in possession with a 97% pass completion rate. Did a lot of running with the inclusion of Giggs in the team in the first half and looked more comfortable in the second.

18. Ashley Young - 7 - His passing wasn't great but he looked United's most dangerous threat going forward and tried to create something. 

26. Shinji Kagawa - 5 - He kept the ball well but often stayed safe and never went for the adventurous ball forward. Offered no help defensively and was taken off in the second half.

14. Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez - 6 - Largely starved of service but looked much better when he had a partner up front in the second half. 

Substitutions-

19. Danny Welbeck - 8 - Replaced Giggs. Changed the game. Stretched the defence, improved the attack and scored the winner. Looks confident.

44. Adnan Januzaj - 6 - Replaced Kagawa. Held the ball up well and helped out defensively.

24. Darren Fletcher - 5 - Replaced Hernandez. Too little time to impact anything but helped see the game out.
