United 3 West Ham 0: Player ratings
Foster: Shaky to start after his enforced long lay off but later showed his more accomplished side 6 Neville: Two games in four days but easy enough to get through against the Hammers 6 Brown: Handled the aerial threat of Cole competently 7 Vidic: Won his usual major quota of balls in the air and looked his old self again 7 Evra: Didn't have a lot to concern him defending and he limited his attacking 6 Valencia: He was all power and accuracy and Hammers just couldn't hold him when he got going 8 Scholes: A few stamps of his genius were enough to keep Reds ticking over 6 Gibson: Had a few decent typically ferocious efforts 6 Anderson: Had barely got his teeth into his reprieve before he was forced off injured 5 Berbatov: Excellent impact. His vision and touch were majestic 8 Rooney: Back on song again to some tune. He hammered the Londoners 9 Subs: Park (sub Anderson 17) Made a good impression 7 Owen (sub Berbatov 78) Clinical cameo 6 Diouf (sub Rooney 78) Didn't have much to do 5 Rafael, Evans, Fletcher, Kuszczak not used West Ham: Green, Franco (Mido 45) , Cole, Kovac, Upson, Noble, Spector, Faubert, Behrami (Collison 63), Tomkins, Diamanti not used Goals:United: Rooney (38, 55) Owen (80)West Ham: None Bookings:United: NoneWest Ham: Faubert (76) Battle of the Bosses: Fergie's policy of not resting Rooney paid off again. Zola didn't have the same firepower to respond Referee: Alan Wiley - Took some stick but he was fine 7 Attendance: 73,797 Agree with the ratings? Have your say.
