  David de Gea

  Conceded for the first time since early March - and had to pick the ball out of the net four times. To be fair, there was little the Spaniard could do about any of the Everton goals, although he did get a hand to Fellaini's strike.

  Patrice Evra

  Excellent bombing forward to support Nani but slow to react defensively, with the first two Everton goals coming from crosses from his side. Hit the post with a header from close range in the final 10 minutes.

  Rio Ferdinand

  Looked vulnerable to Jelavic's intelligent runs and was slow to react to Everton moves, especially for the third and fourth goals. Late half-volley forced a brilliant save from Howard.

  Jonny Evans

  Generally solid but made a couple of costly errors as he was caught under the high ball for Everton's opener and weak against Fellaini for the fourth.

  Rafael

  Great attacking outlet on the right and should have earned his side a penalty in the first-half.

  Michael Carrick

  Efficient and effective with his passing, showing he does have a cutting edge with his role in United's third goal. Alert to break up Everton attacks, especially with interceptions.

  Nani

  Selected ahead of Young and looked sharp, taking potshots at the Everton goal before whipping in a lovely cross for Rooney's equaliser.

  Paul Scholes

  Dictated the tempo for much of the game, especially once United were ahead. Never afraid to make a robust challenge.

  Antonio Valencia

  Offered width throughout the game but didn't always make the best use of it, even though he had the beating of Distin.

  Wayne Rooney

  Took his tally to 26 league goals for the season with a double that makes him United's fourth-highest scorer of all time. Equalised in the 41st minute with a glancing header and slotted home the fourth on 69 minutes. Did little else, but does it matter?

  Danny Welbeck

  Showed why United value him so highly with superb skill and an even better finish from the edge of the box to put United ahead in the 57th minute before provided alert assists for the hosts' third and fourth goals.

  Tim Howard

  The United old boy could do nothing about the hosts' goals and made a superb stop in the dying seconds to deny Ferdinand.

  John Heitinga

  Strong and powerful at the heart of the Everton defence until he was completely fooled by Welbeck as the United striker scored his side's second goal.

  Sylvain Distin Flop of the Match

  Would not have been too happy playing at left-back as he looked to respond to his costly mistake against Liverpool last weekend. Never looked comfortable defending against Valencia although his yellow card for fouling the Ecuadorian was harsh.

  Darron Gibson

  Returned to his former club and produced a tidy, composed display. Just the one customary long-range strike which zipped wide from 30 yards.

  Phil Neville

  The Everton captain lost Rooney in the build-up to United's first goal but produced a captain display as he never gave up. Moved to left-back late on.

  Leon Osman

  Caused United problems in the first-half as he drifted between the lines but faded after the break.

  Steven Pienaar

  The South African was always a threat with his skill and trickery before he scored Everton's fourth goal with an intelligent run and classy finish.

  Marouane Fellaini Top of the Match

  Superb volley for Everton's second goal and played an astute pass for Pienaar's strike. The Belgian's strength, size and awareness made him a good outlet and he was comfortable receiving the ball.

  Nikica Jelavic

  Had two sights on goal and produced two fine finishes. Wonderful header to put the Toffees ahead in the first-half and drilled home a half-volley for his side's third goal. Very classy customer.
