  David de Gea

  Had little to do beyond palming away a Leon Osman volley in the first half. Did not come under the aerial bombardment he perhaps expected.

  3.50

  Rafael

  Dealt with Pienaar more effectively than most full-backs this season. Picked out a fabulous through ball to set Van Persie away for the second.

•

  Patrice Evra

  Everton's inability to threaten the box largely came down to United's full-backs, with Evra matching Rafael in terms of defensive solidity.

  Phil Jones

  Showed some sloppiness in possession in a deep midfield role and was substituted early in the second half having seemingly suffered an injury.

  Jonny Evans

  Put in some crucial blocks during rare moments of Everton pressure. Shackled Anichebe with ease.

  Nemanja Vidic

  Worked well with Evans to keep Fellaini quiet when the Belgian pushed up. Rarely forced into anything last ditch by an anaemic opposition attack, though.

  Antonio Valencia

  Helped create the first goal with a delightful cushioned header but did not enjoy an easy afternoon up against Baines.

  Ryan Giggs

  Took his goal beautifully and put in an industrious performance which did not tally with his advancing years.

  Tom Cleverley

  Never shirked his defensive duties and almost scored with a wonderfully hit volley in the second half.

  Wayne Rooney

  Did not have his best afternoon - and let his frustration out on the referee quite a few times - but kept things simple when given the ball.

  Robin van Persie Top of the Match

  Hit the post, provided an assist and scored despite some occasionally questionable touches. It was entirely fitting that the Dutchman be so involved on a day United effectively sealed a title which he has played such a part in securing.

  Chris Smalling

  Kept things solid at he back even as Everton desperately pushed for a goal.

  Michael Carrick

  Made an excellent interception moments after coming on to stop Osman from scoring. Showed his trademark passing range in a brief cameo.

  Tim Howard

  Could do little to stop the first goal but was rounded on two occasions by Van Persie. The striker may have hit the post the first time but he made no mistake on the second.

  Leighton Baines

  Did not influence the game in the manner which we are accustomed to seeing. His link-up play with Pienaar was largely nullified.

  Phil Jagielka

  Can shoulder none of the blame for United's goals and defended stoutly. Let down by others around him.

  John Heitinga

  Thrown into the team at the last minute and made the mistake which allowed the hosts to open the scoring. Never looked certain after that.

  Darron Gibson

  Suffered his first defeat in an Everton shirt but not due to a lack of effort. Helped Everton control the middle of the park for long periods, even if that domination was not rewarded in terms of goals.

  Phil Neville

  Rarely tested on the outside and got forward well when his team broke forward.

  Leon Osman

  Brought a brilliant save out of De Gea in the first half with an excellent volley. His creative spark was snuffed out by United's hard work for much of the game, though.

  Steven Pienaar

  The South African's partnership with Baines on the left is usually Everton's biggest threat but that failed to get off the ground as Pienaar struggled.

  Marouane Fellaini

  Caused havoc in this fixture last time but was subdued here, with United having seemingly learnt how to control him.

  Kevin Mirallas

  Has yet to get back to his best following a hamstring injury. Did not provide enough dangerous crosses before being substituted in the second half.

  Victor Anichebe Flop of the Match

  Wasted some excellent opportunities in the first half due to a lack of speed in his thinking. Looked cumbersome on the ball and did not use his frame intelligently.

Substitutions

  Nikica Jelavic

  Provided an immediate improvement over Anichebe as a second-half substitute. Threatened the goal on several occasions.

  Steven Naismith

  Had very little impact as a second-half sub.
