RWB) Antonio Valencia – 7.0
His strength and pace caused plenty of problems for Newcastle down the flank.
CM) Michael Carrick – 7.5
A calm and composed performance from the experienced midfielder, setting the tempo for the rest of his team.
CM) Wayne Rooney – 8.5
A pair of goals for the captain, and a fantastic performance from central midfield. He even turned provider for Robin van Persie’s goal.
LWB) Ashley Young – 8.0
Was a real threat from the left side, and put in plenty of quality crosses for Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao. He looks to have found his perfect position in Louis van Gaal’s side.
