De Gea – Probably could have done a little bit better for the first goal but although he conceded two, he didn’t have much to do. Did well to save a near post early on. 6
Rafael – Always looked to push up and support the attack. Had little to do in terms of defending. 6
Rio – Disappointing to say the least. Nowhere to be found for the second goal. Should have commanded the box better for the first. 5
Evans – Impressed in midweek and carried on his fine form with another good performance. Always involved with the midfield. 6
Evra – Don’t know what more to say about him. His form really is dangerous to the team. For every one good performance, he puts in another 2 or 3 woeful ones. 3
Valencia- Knocked in a few good crosses and set up RvP for United’s second. He’s most effective when he’s direct rather than when he lingers on the ball. 7
Carrick – Kept the ball away from the Stoke midfield and allowed us to dominate the midfield in the second half. 7
Scholes – Failed to establish his dominance early on in the game and nearly saw red for two silly tackles. Substituted before he was sent off. 5
Rooney – Conceded a comical own goal but pushed on and showed real passion to get us back into the match. Developing a healthy relationship with his striking partners. 8
Van Persie – He doesn’t mess about, does he? He said he wanted more assists and be did just that. He also scored a clinical strikers goal just before half time. What a buy. 7.5
Welbeck – Always works hard for the team and finally has a goal to show for it. Needs to work on his dribbling and his shooting to really reach world class standards. 6
Subs:
Anderson – Kept the ship steady and filled in the gaps in midfield. 6
Nani – Nearly scored a goal. 6
Hernandez – Although he was only on for a short period of time, he was very impressive with his holding up play and his passing. 7
Evra 3! 3???! 3???!
You kidding me!
3???!!!
Every site says he played well.
3???!!
Evra 3 are u kidding me! he had a really good game, not as good as his newcastle game but good nevertheless, he defended and attacked well!
You really have something against Patrice Evra. I was to go through the ratings to the end but the way you described Evra’s performance put me off you must have been on some drugs while the game progressed.
Evra played. C’mon man, what game were you watching?
^well
your rating is absolute nonsense! Evra 3. you’re joking right? nonsense.
that rating is disgusting.. Barring Evans, Evra won more aerial challenges and he won more tackles that any other player on the pitch despite lack of cover he had at hs wing.
Man u hate evra and even rafael who stopped them well,cant bliv u wrote those,were u really sleeepin when the match was on?
Fergie should buy central defender or gave chance to sootton and m keane the two player deserve to play in first team otherwise it will be very dissapointed to us if they both leave man utd for another team to get first team chance just like progba does.
I can’t believe 3 for Evra. I have to admit I am not an Evra fan and haven’t been for some time. However, I have to say both of our fullbacks were really good yesterday. The problem lay with not dealing properly with the long balls into the box.
