Ratings: Manchester United 3 – 2 Bayern Munich
Van der Sar – 7 Perhaps shouldn’t have been beaten from such an acute angle for the first goal, but wasn’t exactly helped by Carrick’s poor defending.
Rafael – 6 Excellent in the first half, but his naivety got himself sent off early in the second half and arguably cost us a place in the Champions League.
Ferdinand – 7 Mainly in control, but both he and Vidic went missing for Bayern’s opener, leaving Carrick to do their work. Badly.
Vidic – 7 Same as Ferdinand. Excellent besides one or two mistakes.
Evra – 3 There was a time when giving Evra anything less than a 7 was unheard of. However, his recent form has been shocking. I am sick to death of him constantly leaving his man with so much space on the wing, and strolling around the pitch like he could’t give a toss. I appreciate that he’s played an awful lot of football and O’Shea’s injury means he hasn’t been able to be rotated like others, but if he’s going to put in such terrible performances as he did tonight then we may as well put one of the reserves on who will at least TRY to defend. I’d rather suffer for a few games and get the real Evra back after he’s been rested.
Valencia – 6 Great in the first half. A passenger in the second. Needs to learn another trick because the ‘kick it and run’ routine has become tiresome.
Carrick – 4 Rubbish.
Fletcher – 7 Tried his best, but wasn’t helped by one of his fellow midfielders doing nothing.
Gibson – 8 Excellent display. He rewarded Sir Alex‘s faith with the opening goal and generally played well. Faded towards the end but that’s to be expected from a player who isn’t a regular and with a man down.
Nani – 9 Man of the match. Always a threat down the left wing and scored two excellent goals.
Rooney – 6 Played a part in the two opening goals. May as well have been sat on the floor for the remainder of his time on the pitch. I hope playing him hasn’t made his injury worse.
Subs:
O’ Shea – 5 Hooooooof!!!!
Berbatov – 5 No impact.
Giggs – 5 No impact.

Carrick – how many times will he get caught in possession or knocked off the ball? We are really missing Hargreaves to help boss the midfield.
Carrick is a waste of space fergie sell him please!!!
