The former England player quickly restored some characteristic composure to the centre of United's midfield and converted a stunning strike to give his team a 17th-minute lead. The 35-year-old looks the best bet to restore some balance to the midfield. (HIT)

After a quiet first half, he seemed roused by Mourinho's half-time words and made an early impact when he unleashed a 25-metre drive which hit the outside of the post. He continued to make his presence felt with probing passes to United's wide players and then restored United's lead with a stunning strike. (HIT)
