He was not as defensively attentive as he has been in recent weeks, and there was a certain tentativeness just after the half-hour mark where, fresh from a very good attempt on goal, he then proceeded to square when he probably should have shot. Nevertheless, he remained a constant and compelling source of pace and invention, and the team was much the poorer for his removal.
(MF) Daley Blind, 6 -- A delightful curled finish aside, Blind had trouble taking command of proceedings. He is a diffident personality, a foil for a more rugged partner, and this match seemed to pass him by at times. His distribution was reasonable even if somewhat unadventurous, and the suspicion is that he needs to be alongside someone somewhat nastier for him and the team truly to prosper. To end on a positive note, though, his goal showed impressive composure; with only a few minutes left, he placed his shot into the bottom corner when many would have panicked.
(MF) Juan Mata, 5 -- Mata was disappointing; like Shinji Kagawa in his final few months at the club, he looked as if he had lost his mojo. Mata presumably has far more goodwill with Van Gaal than Kagawa did -- he has scored far more goals than the Japanese, for one -- but his promptings in the final third were largely ineffectual, and when he was removed for Falcao, it did not look a moment too soon. Like Kagawa, he is dependent on smart movement around him and tough defensive cover, and in the absence of both he looked marooned.
(FW) Robin van Persie, 6 -- Van Persie began proceedings looking as lively as he has all season, and there was a welcome sharpness to the way he chased down clearances; he even almost engineered a goal in the first half, and thrashed a fine strike against an upright in the second. Yet in between those moments of alertness there were again the long periods of inactivity that have characterised much of his past few months, and he again struggled for chemistry with his strike partner, who in this case was Adnan Januzaj. He was not abject, but he was well below his best.
(FW) Adnan Januzaj, 5 -- This game was identified as a moment when the Belgian playmaker would or could step up, in the manner that he had away to Sunderland in the Premier League last season. Yet no such show was forthcoming. There was some toil, but apart from one Iniesta-like through pass to Rafael in the second half, there was no creativity worthy of his reputation. He often sped forward, trying with a conspicuous desperation to make something happen, yet his defenders treated him with respect, forcing him wide and giving him double coverage. At times the ball was caught underneath his feet in his apparent frustration to break free of their coverage.
Januzaj is not a striker, as he had apparently been deployed, but neither is he a winger, and accordingly he did not look comfortable in either guise. This was not his night, and the carefree talent of early last season currently looks very far away.
Substitutes:
(FW) Falcao, NR -- The Colombia striker came on late in the game and had little time or possession to make an impression. Given the indifferent form of Robin van Persie, he may be thinking that he deserves more playing time.
(MF) Marouane Fellaini, 7 -- Where did this come from? Several onlookers, this writer included, were exceptionally sceptical at his introduction for Ander Herrera at halftime, yet almost immediately he proved everyone wrong. In the shadow of George Best day, he produced a finish so elegant and devastating that it was a pretty good tribute to the late great. After that, his disciplined physicality was the foundation for a decent second-half spell for Manchester United, one on which they sadly failed to capitalise.
