Ratings: Wolfsburg 1 – 3 Manchester United
Kuszczac – 8 - Could have struggled in front of a very depleted defence, but made a couple of fantastic saves to keep the scores level at key times, allowing them to go on and win the match.
Park – 6 – Struggled at times out of position and caught short of pace more than once.
Fletcher – 6 - Made some key tackles to keep Edin Dzeko quiet for most of the game. Caught out of position for the Wolfsburg goal.
Carrick – 7 - Lucky not to have given away a penalty in the first half, but generally did well in a makeshift back four.
Evra – 8 - Defended excellently and got forward well. Enjoyed his role as captain tonight.
Scholes – 8 - Controlled the midfield for large parts of the game. Kept possession well.
Gibson – 6 - Not as influential as his last few performances and left his shooting boots at home.
Anderson – 7 - Very industrious performance. Passed well. Tackled well.
Nani – 6 - An indifferent game for Nani. Frustrating at times, but didn’t have much support. Great cross to allow Owen to open the scoring.
Welbeck – 7 - Played some good one touch football with Owen up front and was involved in a lot of the build up play. Held the ball up well and brought others into the game
Owen – 9 - Four shots, three on target, three goals. You can’t ask for more than that from a centre forward. Back to his best tonight.
Subs
Valencia – 5 - No real impact.
Obertan – 7 - Threatened constantly and really stretched the Wolfsburg back four. Created Owen’s second goal with a piece of brilliant skill.
