Despite fielding the likes of Angel di Maria, Radamel Falcao and Michael Carrick from the off in Cambridgeshire, United struggled to unlock the door and will now face a second game against the League Two side. This is how we rated van Gaal’s men:
GK) David de Gea 6 – Had one or two nervous moments from set pieces in the first half as Cambridge looked to use their height advantage, but otherwise rarely needed.
RB) Antonio Valencia 6 – Looked more comfortable when van Gaal switched his formation to allow him to play as a wing back, but the Ecuadorian’s final ball wasn’t good enough.
CB) Phil Jones 7 – Actually played pretty well and was intelligent in his defensive positioning. His distribution was shaky, however, and the sight of him taking corners was again bizarre.
