De Gea
Not that many saves to make considering behind a rickety defence and Burnley's first-half bombardment. 6
McNair
Had both Barnes and Ings going at him at times but stood up to the test most of the time at right-back. 6
Jones
Had no time to get into the game before his desperate effort to stop early Burnley danger saw him damage his ankle. 5
Evans
The crowd seemed ill at ease when the Northern Ireland international was under pressure. Some solid and some nervy defending. 5
Rojo
Not his first time at left-back but surely his most uncomfortable. He never looked truly at ease in the role. 5
Blind
Needed his calm head when Reds were under the cosh but even he couldn’t settle it down and then suffered head wound. 5
Di Maria
It really was bemusing that a player of such class looked so badly out
of touch but at least he caused Burnley some danger and won penalty. 5
Januzaj
Sadly struggled to get into the game either as the tip of the diamond or wide left of the engine room. 5
Rooney
Started off wide right again but then deep midfield when Blind came off but his impact was hit and miss. 6
Falcao
The Colombian hardly looked worthy of a £43m investment. He was dispossessed virtually every time he was on the ball. 4
Van Persie
His penalty conversion was about the only sight of the ball in box all night. Service to him was poor. 5
Substitutes
Smalling (Jones 6) Super sub 6
Herrera (Blind 39) Not expected impact 6
Wilson (Falcao 73) 6
Not used: Mata, Valencia, Fellaini, Valdes.
