Marouane Fellaini – 5
Three seasons on and Mourinho still relies on Fellaini to save United from the depths of defeat. This time, apart from keeping the ball rolling, the Belgian did little to warrant a higher rating.
Juan Mata – 7
The Spanish wizard didn’t do much in the first half when he came on to replace Bailly. However, he stepped up after the break to deliver a stunning free-kick to bring United back into the game.
Even in the dying seconds of the match, Mata was still chasing down balls to ensure we secured the win. It’s easy to see why he’s a fan favourite at the club.
Alexis Sanchez – 7
Although we wished he created more chances in the final third for United, the super-sub nevertheless did what was asked of him and came on to provide his side with the winning goal to save the tie (and perhaps Mourinho’s job). We hope this is the start of a big turnaround for the Chilean at Old Trafford.
