Default Re: [UCL] Man Utd 1-0 Bursaspor

Manchester United vs Bursaspor, Player Rating
Goal.com


Manchester United
Tomasz Kuszczak - 6.0

Surely the easiest night of his career. Not forced into a single save.

Patrice Evra - 6.0
A solid defensive display from one of United's most reliable players. Grew as an offensive threat in the second-half, particularly on the occasions when Nani switched over the the left side.

Nemanja Vidic - 6.5
A comfortable night for the United captain, who marshalled the defence with aplomb and guided the inexperienced Chris Smalling through the game.

Chris Smalling - 6.0
An excellent game for the summer signing from Fulham to get some valuable minutes in a Manchester United shirt. Relatively untested but his composed manner will draw comparisons with Rio Ferdinand. He needs to avoid lapses in concentration but communicated well with Vidic.

Rafael Da Silva - 6.5
Formed a superb understanding on the right with Nani and always looked to attack when on the ball. Superb last ditch tackle denied Volkan Sen.

Ji-Sung Park - 5.5
The type of display United fans have come accustomed to over the years from the South Korean, who has refreshingly admitted to not being mentally prepared for the season. Unfaltering work rate but was not the man to unlock the door as his side searched for a second goal so was replaced by Gabriel Obertan.

Michael Carrick - 6.0
A solid if unspectular performance from the England midfielder, who played the deepest of the midfield trio. Some tidy defensive interceptions and simple short passes.

Darren Fletcher - 6.5
A player who looks like he wants to play for the club with everything he does on the pitch. Set the tempo by snapping into tackles from the first minute and always looking to pass and move.

Anderson - 6.5
A typically energetic performance from the Brazilian. Involved in much of the hosts' good work but did not quite have the final delivery when United needed more creativity. Replaced by Javier Hernandez due to injury.

Nani - Top of the Match 7.0
Wonderful solo goal from a player with all the natural talent to be a world-beater. Flitted in and out of the game but was always a menace when he got on the ball and some great deliveries.

Federico Macheda - 6.5
The Italian teenager will see Wayne Rooney's impending exit as a chance for him to step into the fold and he looked sharp from the off. Could have scored with early strike from a tight angle. Faded badly in second period.

• Substitutions
Gabriel Obertan - 6.0

Plenty of flicks and tricks for those supporters who were still awake.

Javier Hernández Balcázar - 6.0
Late substitute showed his goal threat but fired wide when well placed.
