Manchester United Player Ratings From ESPNSTAR.COM

Anders Lindegaard :6

His debut for United and apart from the goal, he was barely tested. Routine catches and all.

John O'Shea: 5

Went AWOL when United conceded- this shows why he's behind the pecking order at Old Trafford.

Jonathan Evans :6

Fairly competent in the air, or maybe Southampton were just not good enough?

Chris Smalling: 6

He looked a bit rusty- perhaps he needs to start more for the Red Devils.

Fabio Da Silva (45' off): 5

Another forgetable performance from the Brazilian. They should have played his twin instead, but unfortunately he was not available.

Paul Scholes :6

His crosses and ball distribution were pin point, as usual. The reliable Scholes just needed a goal to his name.

Darron Gibson (58' off)

Did not contribute much in the match and was mostly a spectator as he watched the Southampton midfielders run circles around him.

Anderson (58' off) :5

Was taken out to make way for Giggs after his mediocre performances.

Gabriel Obertan: 6

The Frenchman does have some skills, yes, but he looks a tad like Cristiano Ronaldo in the early days, with little end product to show for it. Give the lad time, i say.

Javier Hernandez :8

One moment of magic and he scores. If we look at his first half performances, no one will ever guess Hernandez would be on the score sheet in this match.
