United 3 City 1: Player ratings
Van der sar: Early second-half flying save from Richards gave Reds a critical platform 7 Rafael: Again he had an educating tussle with Bellamy and handled it well 6 Ferdinand: Tougher outing than Hull but though it was mixed he could be reasonably happy 7 Evans: A manful performance from the Irishman under intense pressure 8 Evra: Was stretched to the limit at times against Wright-Phillips but gave as good as he got 6 Nani: Prominent when Reds on top but needed a 90-minute effort like his Hull match 6 Fletcher: Covered acres of ground and never allowed City's midfield a moment's peace 8 Carrick: Quiet at times but then popped up with a vital goal and got Reds on top 6 Scholes: A typical Scholes night, a booking a variety of passing and a screaming goal 8 Giggs: Had a killer hand in two of United's goals and was a constant threat to the Blues again 7 Rooney: By his standards he was a touch quiet but that's when he is most dangerous 7 Substitutes: Brown: (Rafael 74) Steady effort 6 Valencia: (Nani 90) Late spur 6 Not used: Owen, Berbatov, Park, Vidic, Kuszczak Attendance: 74,576 Agree with the ratings?
