Manchester United
Ben Foster Lucky to escape when he tried to beat Saha inside his own area but was rarely tested by the Everton attack 6
Rafael Provided a sweeping cross Lescott almost deflected into his own net. Dealt with exchanges between Baines and Pienaar 7
Ferdinand Brought resilience as well as composure to the United defence and offered Saha little space with which to trouble Foster 8
Vidic Looks more relaxed alongside Ferdinand and dominated in his duel against Saha while also coping with the threat of Fellaini 8
Fabio Does not attract the eulogies of his twin, Rafael, but was a diligent performer against Osman and helped stifle Everton 7
Ji-Sung Park Bright and dangerous, he and Tevez carried the main threat for United before fading out of the game in the second half 6
Darren Gibson Left his mark early on with shuddering tackles while his neat distribution showed there is far more to his game than strength 7
Anderson Did not stamp his authority on the midfield battle but was composed and disciplined in his task of keeping Cahill quiet 6
Danny Welbeck Should have had a penalty for a trip by Jagielka, and arguably would have done had he not thrown himself to the ground 7
Carlos Tevez The most creative outlet in United's starting XI. Caused Everton problems with his movement and link-up play 7
Federico Macheda Brought Welback into the game with several fine passes and his pace kept Jagielka and Lescott on the back foot throughout 6
Substitutes
Evra for Fabio Da Silva (63); Scholes for Park (67); Berbatov for Macheda (91)
Everton
Tim Howard Has been struggling with form and a thigh strain of late but, after a quiet 120 minutes, made critical saves in the penalty shoot-out 8
Tony Hibbert Made countless vital tackles inside his area, none more so than on Macheda with 12 minutes to go. Injured in the process 7
Phil Jagielka Could so easily have conceded a penalty with his trip on Welbeck but that was his only error in a robust display 7
Joleon Lescott Showed good pace to deal with several breaks by Macheda and his reading of the game was key to thwarting United 8
Leighton Baines Looked heavy-legged on Wembley's pitch and wasted several openings to supply forwards, but improved in extra time 6
Leon Osman Caught by Gibson in first minute and did not impose himself on the contest. Like Baines, appeared slow on the Wembley surface 5
Phil Neville One of the few Everton players not lost to the occasion, he fought a gruelling tussle with Gibson while trying to shackle Tevez 7
Tim Cahill Worked hard with Neville in central midfield but had one chance to test Foster as his adventure was sacrificed for the team 7
Steven Pienaar Struggled to escape the clutches of Rafael Da Silva or provide the ingenuity that his forwards needed, but worked hard 6
Marouane Fellaini Won many headers but received no support. Was a booking waiting to happen given his use of the arms against Ferdinand and Vidic 6
Louis Saha Had the ominous task of carrying Everton's threat to Ferdinand and Vidic while short of match fitness, and it showed 5
Substitutes
Rodwell for Saha (70); Vaughan for Fellaini (102)
