Didn?t get tight enough on Park to stop the Korean?s early enterprise. Replaced by Carew on 80 minutes.James Collins - 5 : Booked on 11 minutes for a lunge on Owen.

Solid display thereafter until ball-watching lapse allowed Rooney to score winner. Richard Dunne - 7 : Looked like the forlorn City player of old when his stumble let in Berbatov and helped create United?s first goal. Improved as the game wore on and got forward well towards end of the game as Villa?s anxiety increased Neil Warnock - 6 :Showed the qualities that have brought him national team recognition with excellent fist half against Valencia. Struggled in the second 45 minutes as the Ecuadorian winger showed his class.

Ashley Young - 6 :Looked more lively as the game wore on but didn't exploit United's frailties at fullback. Should have given Evra a sterner test once the United captain was booked. James Milner - 7 : Scored penalty and was always Villa?s danger man until fading in the second half. Great audition in front of the watching national team manager Fabio Capello. Stiliyan Petrov - 5 : Neat and tidy but driven back as United took control of the midfield Powerless in a poor second half team display. Stewart Downing - 5 : Booked for scything down Evra on 18 minutes Flitted in and out of the game.

Referee - Phil Dowd - 4 : If United expected a hard time from a referee who had sent off Scholes and Rooney last year at Fulham, they were happily mistaken.
