CM: Marouane Fellaini – 7
He may have struggled to impose himself against Palace’s dynamic, mobile central midfielders, but he made a decisive impact with the late winner.
LW: Ashley Young – 7
For the second weekend in a row he was United’s best player, and is one figure who is clearly thriving despite United’s problems. His forward-thinking play and brave dribbling was refreshing to watch.
FW: Wayne Rooney – 6
Brought some cohesion to the attack, and was a decent reference point for those around him, before injury ended his participation.
