How the Rovers players fared in the Carling Cup semi-final second leg defeat at Old Trafford.

FRIEDEL: Didn't deserve to be on losing side. A Herculean effort from the American 9

NEILL: Solid defensively and got forward well down the right 7

GRAY: Not one of his better games in a Rovers shirt and his mistake led to the opener 6

KHIZANISHVILI: Enhanced his growing reputation with another watchful performance 7

NELSEN: Needed all his powers of concentration against Van Nistelrooy and Saha 7

TUGAY: Tried to pull the strings for Rovers in the centre but couldn't find that killer pass 7

SAVAGE: The centre of attention once again following his half-time spat with Ferdinand 7

REID: Took his goal well and provided great protection for Neill 8

PEDERSEN: Couldn't quite conjure another bit of magic against his favourite opponents 7

BENTLEY: Kept probing away up front but got little change out of Ferdinand and Brown 7

KUQI: Plenty of effort and endeavour but posed United few problems 6

SUBS: BRETT EMERTON (for Kuqi, 77) 6, SERGIO PETER (for Tugay, 86)

NOT USED: ANDY TODD, AARON MOKOENA, PETER ENCKELMAN
