Bettor.com rates the United players who maintained a clean sheet last night and also came away with a crucial three points.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anders-Lindegaard-c5553: 7
Not troubled enough during the game by West Ham, but did well to respond whenever he was called into action. Made a crucial save to deny Carlton Cole in the latter stages of the game.
Rafael: 8
The Brazilian has enjoyed an incredible season so far and was in impressive form at Old Trafford, causing the Hammers all sorts of problems on the flank. However, he did not shirk his responsibilities and kept Matt Jarvis firmly rooted to anonymity.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231: 7.5
The Frenchman looks to have overcome his defensive problems and was resolute at the back. However, with a more prominent role behind the half-way line, the left-back compromised on his attacking instincts, which were needed as United played a wingless formation.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085: 8
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s tutelage. Played a more advanced role at times and escaped unpunished, although his luck could
run out if he continues like this.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling: 7.5
Like his central partner, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International was responsible for maintaining the clean sheet and also kept Andy Carroll under wraps. A brilliant outing from a youngster, who looks to be back at his best.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565: 7.5
Earning a start after his cameo against QPR, the midfielder was all-action at the Theatre of Dreams and played with a sense of urgency that the Reds lacked so much without him. Deserved the applause given to him after being substituted for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282: 7
Played in his usual role in-front of the defence and controlled the tempo of the game. Played a good pass to Robin Van Persie that set the Dutchman up for his opening goal.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-Cleverley-c35218: 7.5
Played with his heart on his sleeve and was constant thorn in the West Ham defence. Full of blistering pace and good accuracy on the ball, he showed signs of tiring after the break and was thus replaced by Ashley Young to inject more speed.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736: 7
Not his best performance in a United shirt by any margin, the Red Devils’ star was average and did not make any notable contributions. However, he marshalled the troops effectively and carefully linked midfield with attacks in his new found position behind
the main forwards.
Javier Hernandez: 7
Had two tries that could have resulted in a goal, but one was blissfully blown over the bar, while the other was sensationally saved by Jaaskelainen’s outstretched left-hand.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380: 7.5
The Netherlands’ star started with a bang and hit the only goal of the night under 33 seconds with some creative skills. A clever flick to evade his marker and lucky deflection saw him grab all three points for United in a tough encounter.
Substitutes:
Phil Jones: N/A
Never had enough time to make an impact.
Ashley Young: 6.5
Was sent on for Cleverley, but failed to make the most of his 20 minutes on the pitch and was an anonymous figure on the left.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233: N/A
Came on for Rooney, but never got time and space on the ball to influence proceedings unlike his predecessor.
