Ratings – West Ham 0 – 4 Manchester United

Kuszczak – 8 - Edwin who? Kuszczak is deputizing brilliantly in the Dutchman’s absence. One save in particular from a Diamanti free kick stood out from the rest.

Fletcher – 7 - Played as well at right back as he does in midfield. Defended brilliantly. Could have contributed more to the attack.

Neville – 5 - Wasn’t troubled much before a groin injury saw him take an early bath.

Brown – 7 - Nothing to trouble Brown in the air or on the ground today.

Evra – 7 - Defended well and got forward whenever he could. He came within inches of scoring late on.

Valencia – 7 - Quiet game until midway through the second half when he killed the game off with a goal and an assist.

Gibson – 7 - Another superb strike from Gibson and a controlled performance in midfield.

Scholes – 7 - Seems to have overcome the worries over his form. A good performance and volleyed in the opening goal to set United on their way.

Anderson - 7 – A typical energetic performance from the Brazilian and set up Valencia’s goal.

Giggs – 8 – Brilliant first half and a more subdued but still great second half.

Rooney – 6 - Quiet afternoon from Rooney, but still managed to get himself on the scoresheet.

Subs

Carrick – 7 - Stepped in at centre half for the injured Gary Neville and didn’t look out of place.

Berbatov – 5 Nothing special.

Owen – 5 - Same as Berbatov, no real impact.
