CB) Marcos Rojo 6 – Got stuck into Cambridge in the first half and showed he was up for the fight but, in truth, that was perhaps just what the hosts wanted.
LB) Daley Blind 6 – Didn’t have the pace to get up in support of attacks when playing at left back, but uses the ball intelligently and rarely gives it away.
DCM) Michael Carrick 6 – Van Gaal desperately tried to create the conditions for Carrick to be able to control the game by switching his system, but the England man was always more peripheral than his manager wanted.
