Man Utd 1-2 Spurs: Premier League Player Ratings

Man Utd

David De Gea: Fine save with outstretched foot denied Lennon. Left exposed by his defence for second Spurs goal. 5/10. Chris Smalling: Strong shot up from right back caused Lloris to spill behind. Subbed and that gamble to drop Valencia in his spot backfired on Moyes. 4.5/10. Jonny Evans: Adebayor got up above him to score the opener. Never convinced when the Northern Irishman is paired with Vidic. 4/10. Nemanja Vidic: Headed wide from two corners in either half. Found Lennon hard to handle when he came infield. 4.5/10. Patrice Evra: Struggled to contain movement and crosses from his side. Lennon had a field day against the French left back and that is why he needs replacing. 3/10. Antonio Valencia: Eriksen got across the front of him when he moved to right back and scored Spurs's second. This is a tactic United might get away with against lesser sides, but Moyes will have egg on his face here. 3.5/10. Michael Carrick: Good through-ball for Welbeck chance second half. Sat comfortably enough. Quick counters came down the flanks, so hardly his fault. Subbed. 5/10. Tom Cleverley: Subbed on yet another anonymous performance. What does he do for the Red Devils cause? Rooney is a better bet dropping into midfield than this laughing stoke. 3/10. Click next for Man Utd player ratings.
