Ratings Manchester United 4 – 0 Hull City
Van Der Sar – 7 – Nothing really to test him.
Rafael – 6 - Relatively quiet game. Nothing much to trouble his flank, but could have contributed more to the attack.
Ferdinand – 7 - A rock in the centre of defence. Brought a sense of calm that’s been missing recently. (Except when swinging for Craig Fagan)
Evans – 7 – Looks much better alongside Ferdinand.
Evra – 7 - Brilliant as always. Defended well and contributed to attacks.
Nani – 9 - Man of the match if not for the amazing Rooney. One ofUnited’s most dangerous players.
Fletcher – 7 – Controlled the midfield and distributed the ball well.
Scholes – 8 - Dominated the middle of the park. Started most of our attacks by spreading the ball wide to Nani and Park.
Park – 6 - Negligible contribution from Park. Simply not good enough.
Owen -7 - Overall play was very good. build up play was neat and tidy. Should have scored though.
Rooney – 10 – Four goals. Enough said.
Subs:
Berbatov – 6 - Grabbed an assist for Rooney’s 4th goal.
Gibson – 5 - Not his best cameo appearance.
Fabio – 5 - No impact.

The ratings are ok, except the 7 for Fletcher. I totally disagree that he distributes the ball well… he doesn’t. He slows the game down when he shouldn’t and he contributes nothing offensively. He really needs to pick up his game to his best otherwise we’re in trouble. Scholes does well vs teams like this, but Gibson and Park should be sold.
