Manchester United

Edwin van der Saar 7

Had a far more challenging evening than in San Siro, his best moment a one-handed save to deny Dejan Stankovic

John O'Shea 6

His ball-watching presented Inter with their best chance of the first half, when he was fortunate Zlatan Ibrahimovic hit the bar

Rio Ferdinand 7

Ferdinand is at a stage of his career in which he seems to have eradicated his habit of losing concentration at vital moments

Nemanja Vidic 8

Scored a superb goal from Ryan Giggs' corner and, defensively, had the usual quota of telling interceptions

Patrice Evra 6

On nights like these the Frenchman does not venture forward with as much adventure as he usually does

Michael Carrick 6

Passes the ball exquisitely but there were times when United missed Owen Hargreaves's scurrying presence in midfield

Paul Scholes 7

Is not a natural ball-winner and that meant United's back four were often unprotected. But he is still a great passer

Cristiano Ronaldo 8

The days have gone when it could be said Ronaldo failed to show in the big games. He now has 17 goals for the season

Ryan Giggs 8

He pretty much summed up United with some lovely, intelligent, probing football, although was careless on occasions

Dimitar Berbatov 6

The Bulgarian has turned down the volume on those who questioned his contribution earlier in the season

Wayne Rooney 7

The sight of him chasing back 30 yards to tackle Maicon as an emergency left-back epitomised United's energy. Set up a goal

Substitutes

Anderson (for Scholes, 70)

Not used Foster, Park, Evans, Fletcher, Gibson, Tevez

Internazionale

Julio Cesar 7

Inter's hero in the first leg, he could not blamed for either of United's goals and proved there are good Brazilian keepers

Maicon 6

Brazilian right-back found Ryan Giggs a difficult opponent when the United
player was running with the ball

Iván Córdoba 6

Showed why he is one of the more accomplished defenders in Serie A even if, at 32, he struggled at times

Walter Samuel 6

Showed Argentinian ruggedness when he chopped down Ronaldo to earn a booking. That moment summed up Inter's frustration

Davide Santon 7

The young left-back had the task of tracking Cristiano Ronaldo and, apart from a few hairy moments, he generally held his own

Esteban Cambiasso 6

Would do well in the Premier League. Always keen to get on the ball and break up opposition attacks just in front of defence

Javier Zanetti 5

Inter's captain - and their oldest player - did not have the influence he usually exerts in Serie A matches

Patrick Viera 5

Guilty of losing Vidic in the area for the opening goal and is clearly no longer the player of old, lasting only until half-time

Dejan Stankovic 6

His ability to find space between United's midfield and defence was one of the reasons United looked vulnerable, but faded

Mario Balotelli 5

Started instead of Adriano but if the idea was to use the teenager's pace against John O'Shea he came a poor second

Zlaten Ibrahimovic 6

Showed sporadic glimpses of his talent but Mourinho's claim that he is the best player in the world is faintly ludicrous

Substitutes

Muntari (for Vieira, h-t), Adriano (for Stankovic, 58), Figo (for Balotelli, 70)

Not used Toldo, Maxwell, Cruz, Muntari, Rivas
