He was brilliant, and tackled everything in sight
Pienaar works his nuts off and helps his fullback, Bily is disciplined in doing that too, Fellaini can go walkabout but still puts his foot in
If you don't still don't like that though, sling Neville in front of the back four, any one of three right backs in instead and replace Saha or the Yak with Ossie or Cahill.
They'd give Benfica a proper game too
