Starting XI
Edwin Van der Sar - 7
Hardly troubled, made one good save from a Otto low shot.
Fabio - 7
Chased back well and shackled the Greentown left flank.
Patrice Evra - 7
Defended well and almost scored on the other end, hitting the post three times!
Jonny Evans - 7
Didn't have much to do. Missed a chance to score from a corner.
Rio Ferdinand - 7
A routine day in the office for the classy defender.
Zoran Tosic - 8
Tosic may not be the next Ronaldo, but he looks like the next Nedved, showing great technique on the left flank and dancing his way to a great individual goal.
Nani - 9
Though it was against mediocre competition, made a case as a candidate to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, playing some part in every single goal in his time on the pitch.
Darren Fletcher - 7
Worked hard to keep the shape of United's midfield.
Paul Scholes - 7
Had a pedestrian run-out.
Michael Owen -9
Looks rejuvenated with Manchester United. Grabbed two goals that showed his class as a predatory striker.
Dimitar Berbatov - 8
Show deft touches and technique as he linked up play well for the English champions. Scored a sitter off a pass from Nani.
Subs
Ben Foster - 6
Could not be blamed for both goals, but should have made a world class save or two to show he could be the next England No. 1.
Wes Brown - 6
A cosy run-out for the defender.
Darron Gibson - 7
Showed glimpses of potential as he ran tirelessly, hustling for the ball and pressuring the opposition.
Anderson - 7
Added a touch of class after substituting Nani.
Ryan Giggs - 10
The veteran winger showed the youngsters how it's done, grabbing a second-half hat-trick in half an hour.
Wayne Rooney - 6
Ran and ran and ran, but didn't score. Conceded the first goal after he was out-jumped for the ball from a corner.
Park Ji-Sung - 7
Did his usual thing: Played 100% and managed to break down Greentown's defence.
