1. David De Gea - 6 - Made a couple of good saves, one to deny Larsson was particularly brilliant. Let down by his defenders for the goals.
2. Rafael - 4 - Made some silly challenges and was also booked needlessly for dissent. Needs to calm down and focus on playing, as he was poor positionally throughout.
6. Jonny Evans - 6 - Never looked confident really and was eventually taken off with a back injury.
15. Nemanja Vidic - 7 - Scored a header after looking dangerous throughout on set pieces. His goal could really help United to progress. Led by example.
3. Patrice Evra - 5 - Another average performance. Tried to get forward but it left him exposed.
25. Antonio Valencia - 5 - It seems a case of one step forward two steps back with Valencia. His crossing was awful and he never looked confident taking on Alonso.
23. Tom Cleverley - 4 - Put a good corner in for Vidic's goal but besides this was very poor. Never created anything and he made a silly challenge that although soft gave Johnson the opportunity to win the penalty.
16. Michael Carrick - 6 - Kept possession well and was certainly one of the better performers for United on the night.
11. Ryan Giggs - 6 - Looked dangerous, particurlarly in the first half, hitting the bar with a well struck drive. Was unfortunate to score an own goal. Faded as the game went on.
44. Adnan Januzaj - 8 - A different class. Constantly troubling the Sunderland defenders, he is definitely United's go-to guy for creativity in the absense of Rooney and RVP.
19. Danny Welbeck - 6 - His chances were limited throughout and although he worked hard he struggled to create anything of worth.
Substitutions-
12. Chris Smalling - 4 - Replaced Evans. Struggled against Altidore and was booked.
24. Darren Fletcher - 5 - Replaced Cleverley. Slotted into midfield easily but couldn't find the key pass.
14. Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez - 6 - Replaced Valencia. Too little time to make an impact.
