MANCHESTER UNITED
David De Gea - 6
Great diving save to deny Robben in first half and couldn't be faulted for the equaliser.

Phil Jones - 6.5
Got off to a torrid start against Ribery but grew into the game and imposed himself.
Alexander Buttner - 6
Had his hands full against fellow Dutchman Robben and survived handball claim.
Michael Carrick - 6.5
Some excellent passes but struggled to keep track of Bayern's roving midfield.

Rose to the occasion and timely interceptions to deny Mueller in particular.

Nemanja Vidic - 7
Captain's performance in his second game in four days after injury, and came up with the goal.
Marouane Fellaini - 4.5
Looked out of his depth at times and didn't pick up his man for the equaliser
Ryan Giggs - 5
Asking too much to have same impact as Olympiacos win and subbed at half-time
Rising high: Nemanja Vidic scores with a header to give United the lead at Old Trafford
Wayne Rooney - 6.5
Best bet for a creative spark and supplied corner for Vidic's goal.

Lively down the right. Harshly booked but then lucky to escape a red.
Danny Welbeck - 7.5
Guilty of wasting best chance of the first half but ran Martinez ragged.

BAYERN MUNICH
Manuel Neuer - 7
Crucial save from Welbeck but could do little about Vidic's goal from a corner.
Rafinha - 6.5
Almost caught out dithering early on but settled well after that.
David Alaba - 6.5
Spent as much time in United box as his own but made valuable blocks on Valencia and Rooney.
Bastian Schweinsteiger - 7
Got forward to snatch a crucial away goal but sent off late on for second yellow card.

Javi Martinez - 4.5
Played out of position at centre-back and it looked like it at times.

Former City defender seemed vulnerable whenever United threatened.
Arjen Robben - 8
An old adversary but still giving United the runaround after all these years.
Menace: Arjen Robben chases the ball with Shinji Kagawa (left) and Phil Jones in pursuit
Philipp Lahm - 6
He has prospered in a midfield role this season but was a little less effective here.

Didn't have as many chances as he might have expected and subbed.
Toni Kroos - 6
United target made a lot of passes without ever really opening them up.
