Bettor.com rates the Red Devils, who managed to clinch three points after making a sensational yet routine comeback from 2-0 down.
Manchester United:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463: 7/10
The Spaniard could have reacted more quickly to stop http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andreas-Weimann-c5768 for the opening goal, but other than that, he was not to blame for the tepid defence that conceded twice. Made a crucial save deny Aston Villa a third goal and now surely merits a regular
starting berth following a blip in form.
Rafael: 7/10
Showed both his best and worst side during the ninety minutes, as he curled in a superb cross for Javier Hernandez to score, but was far too involved in attack to stop Benteke from placing a pass to Weimann for his second.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231: 6.5/10
The Frenchman is well past his prime defensively and now struggles regularly to match quality opposition. Nonetheless, he was an effective attacking outlet and tried to influence proceedings with his constant running on the flank.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173: 7.5/10
Looked settled after being rested in the mid-week visit to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling by preventing another goal. Not at fault for Weimann’s brace and should look back at a good
outing overall.
Chris Smalling: 6/10
While his talents were evident throughout the game, the youngster still needs plenty of game time to achieve top form, as he was beaten to the ball on several occasions by Benteke’s brute force and clever running.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345: 7/10
With his typical energetic self, he tried to make most of role on the wing, but was woefully short of his best form after being unable to trouble Aston Villa. Needs to recover that killer ball instinct which makes him such a threat as a typical winger.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282: 7.5/10
A consistent feature in the line-up, he justified his regular starting role with an assured displays in terms of passing and creativity, but his lack of speed and slow tempo often narrowed down his options during the game.
Ashley Young: 5.5/10
As a former Villa star, he was constantly booed by the fans and his performance on the pitch did nothing to entice his own set of supporters either, as he failed to build on his recent good form.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394: 8/10
Scholes’ midfield master class was an example for budding footballers and the senior statesman used all his experience to hold his nerves, before setting up Hernandez with his opener through a typical long ball from the middle of the park.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736: 7.5/10
Seemed to eager to let go of the ball in dangerous areas when a shot on target could have been a better option. However, his all round play was excellent and he should continue his new found attacking role in the future.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380: 7.5/10
Led the line well, but never had luck on his side after crashing two superb efforts on the cross bar.
Substitutes:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565: N/A
Given sometime to stretch after replacing Rooney with only ten minutes to go.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-Cleverley-c35218: N/A
Come on for Scholes and piled pressure to secure victory for the 19-time English champions.
Javier Hernandez: 9/10
The Mexican sensational confirmed United’s belief that he might be the ‘New Solskjaer’ after bagging the points with a crumbling treble in the second half. Will now give Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson a wanted headache after claiming his place for a starting role.
