Manchester United vs West Bromwich Albion, Player Rating
MEN
Edwin van der Sar - 5
It had been such an easy afternoon but his inexplicable howler wrecked it
Rafael - 6
Had been a competent effort but he got caught up in second half sloppiness
Rio Ferdinand - 7
Was largely comfortably on top of everything that concerned him
Nemanja Vidic - 6
Had been solid but he didn't command defence when the nerves set in
Patrice Evra - 7
Had an excellent first half but like most others he didn't get into the second period
Michael Carrick - 5
Quiet throughout and rarely produced a killer pass
Ryan Giggs - 5
Started off with a few dangerous runs but then injury curtailed his afternoon
Anderson - 5
Gave away the free kick that got Albion back in it and generally didn't suggest he could alter things
Nani - 6
Made the first and scored second but then his impact faded dramatically
Javier Hernandez - 5
Alertness got Reds off to a flyer but then he went missing
Dimitar Berbatov - 7
Ran the first half show but when United needed his touch it wasn't there
Substitutes
Darron Gibson - 5
(for Giggs 42) Failed to make impact
Paul Scholes - 5
