Manchester United Vs Crystal Palace Player Ratings

Champions are made of this 




A look at how the major media houses rated Manchester United players against Cr (300x250)" >ystal palace.

Daily Mail
Mata and Lingard legends

They have given Chris Smalling 5 and Daley Blind has been given a six. Do you think Smalling deserved more? His two yellow cards were well deserved but overall his performance I think his performance deserve better.
Rooney has been given a solid 8.5


BBC SPORT
Captain Fantastic Rooney 

For the Bbc eyebrows for Rashford. He has been given a whopping 9 but that did not earn him the Man of The match. It went to Rooney who has been given a rating of 8.
I think Rashford was good yesterday but a nine is on the high side. I think a 7.5 would have been a better rating.

The Daily Telegraph
Did David De Gea deserve more? He has been given a six, the blame being that he conceded a goal at his near post. I may argue out there was uncertainty in the defence. They thought Jason Puncheon was in an offside position and that why they hesitated. This made de Gea to react too late.


Did Valencia also deserve a better rating? His seven is a bit low considering he was up against Yannick Bolasie, a trick player but Valencia was able to contain him. His bombing upfront to help in attack was also a joy to watch.

Daily Star
An eyebrow rating for Chris Smalling. He has been given a four. Does it mean when a player is sent of all the good he had done is forgotten? Smalling had played the whole 90 minutes without any blemish. True his performance was that not eye catching but he had led the defence well resitricting Crystal Palace attack to just a few chances. His second card was well deserved but for my part he had to do it. He sacrificed himself for the team the way Luis Suarez did in 2010 world cup against Ghana.

The mirror
The Bbc gave Marcus Rashford a nine,  the mirror has given him a six. Why should there be so much difference if Rashford was that good from the BBc point of view. Another eye catching rating is Juan Mata, he is the mirror Man of the match with a rating of 8.He scored the equalizing goal but for me his performance was peripheral. Carrick and Rooney controlled the game and deserved a better rating than Mata.

Goal.Com
Am never a fan of goal.com but here I agree Fellaini was better than Carrick yesterday. Fellaini had been given 3.5 star rating (out of 5) while Carrick has been given 3.0. Fellaini was immense yesterday. 

His presence really unsettled Crystal Palace defence and for once he was not that clumsy except for the use of the elbow late in the game.
