COMMUNITY SHIELD PLAYER RATINGS

Tevez - man of the match.

MANCHESTER UNITED

EDWIN VAN DER SAR: Barely touched the ball as Portsmouth fired blanks. Given an easy time in the shoot-out. 6

GARY NEVILLE (captain): Made first start since March 2007 and could be forgiven obvious signs of rustiness. 6

PATRICE EVRA: Darting runs and a keen eye for space made French full-back a handful down the left. 7

RIO FERDINAND: Easily coped with anything Pompey could throw at him in a display that will have reassured England boss Fabio Capello. 6

NEMANJA VIDIC: Made full contribution to a dominant Manchester United defence that gave nothing away. 6

DARREN FLETCHER: Nightmares will ensue after butchering a glorious first-half chance but otherwise ran his socks off. 6

PAUL SCHOLES: Sprayed the ball around with trademark precision but faded in and out of the game. 6

JOHN O'SHEA: United's midfield was on top throughout and O'Shea made an unspectacular contribution. 6

NANI: Opened up his bag of tricks to unlock the Pompey defence on a couple of occasions, but sometimes a liability. 6

RYAN GIGGS: Lively on the ball with his intelligent runs a frequent menace before ageing legs took their toll. 6

CARLOS TEVEZ: Ran himself into the ground and the Argentina striker deserved the man-of-the-match award. 8

Substitutes:

WES BROWN: Made no mistakes after replacing Neville. 5

MICHAEL CARRICK: Rifled home his penalty in the shootout. 6

FRAZIER CAMPBELL: Showed dazzling footwork to create a great chance which he then skied over the crossbar. 6

PORTSMOUTH

DAVID JAMES: Celebrated his new haircut with a string of superb saves that kept Pompey in the match. 8

SOL CAMPBELL (captain): Agonisingly slow on the turn, Pompey will hope Campbell's fitness improves before the opener against Chelsea. 5

SYLVAIN DISTIN: Rescued Pompey when Nani rampaged clear but part of a plodding defence that toiled all afternoon. 6

GLEN JOHNSON: Lethargic and error-prone, Johnson will not have impressed attending England coach Capello. 5

LASSANA DIARRA: Tidy and uncomplicated, the former Arsenal star expertly anchored Pompey's midfield but faded later on. 7

NIKO KRANJCAR: Anonymous until his substitution as Pompey were regularly over-run in midfield. 6

PEDRO MENDES: Second-half rally saw him planted in the thick of the action, making up for quiet first period. 6

PAPA BOUBA DIOP: Showed the odd flash of brilliance but also ran down blind allies after some bizarre decision-making. 6

HERMANN HREIDARSSON: Desperately lucky not concede a second-half penalty as he grabbed hold of Tevez's leg from the ground. 5

JERMAIN DEFOE: Looked razor sharp on a couple of occasions but suffered from a lack of service and created nothing himself. 6

PETER CROUCH: Struggled to make any impression, playing little part for long spells as Pompey's attack spluttered. 5

Substitutes:

ARNOLD MVUEMBA: Only contribution was directing a terrible penalty straight at Van der Sar in the shootout. 4

LAUREN: Replaced the blundering Hreidarsson but made no real impact. 5

JOHN UTAKA: A quiet afternoon following second-half arrival. 5
