(Video) Awkward: Manchester United star David de Gea celebrates Wayne Rooney goal, despite fact striker’s effort didn’t go in against Chelsea…
Read the full Man United player ratings below:
GK) David de Gea 6/10
The Spain star could not do much about the goal after being left exposed, but he did celebrate when he thought Wayne Rooney had scored! Awkward.
RB) Antonio Valencia 5/10
The winger looked exactly that – a wideman being deployed as a full-back. Did his best but was off the pace for the goal and looked vulnerable when Chelsea countered.
CB) Chris Smalling 6/10
Strangely the elder statesman of the two in the middle, Smalling coped fairly well with an ageing Drogba.
CB) Paddy McNair 6/10
The youngster still looks raw on these big occasions, although he did test Courtois with one rasping shot.
LB) Luke Shaw 8/10 (Blackett -’80)
Arguably one of his best games in a United shirt, especially when bombing forward in the first half.
