Birmingham United's inexorable march to Premier League honor advanced further Sunday making use of their 2-0 win over Stoke City. Jordan Carrick gave Sir Alex Ferguson's part an early on lead with a scrambled effort, before another half punishment from Robin van Persie effortlessly closed the three points. Despite Manchester City's derby get last week, the space between the two teams at the summit of the table is surely too good to overcome. Here are the ball player ratings for the Red Devils on an enjoyable evening. Mark delaware Gea: 7 Another sport, another reliable efficiency from the once maligned Spaniard. Mark de Gea was kept largely untroubled in the first half, but made many stops in the second to reject the Potters a route back to the overall game. Phil Jones: 6 Manchester United's man for every place was defensively stable againstAJonathan Walters down the right flank, rarely getting caught out by the converted large man. Moving forward he was far less significant, his url up play with Antonio Valencia bordering on the awkward sometimes. Julian Finney/Getty Pictures Nemanja Vidic: 8 Sunday evening Captain of the Red Devils, Nemanja Vidic played want it. The Serbian creature was entirely dominant in the air, maintaining Kenwyne Jones stifled for the best the main game. He's been among the side's most dependable players in 2013. Rio Ferdinand: 6 A composed, if unimpressive game at the rear for the United veteran. With Vidic maintaining Jones nicely under systems, Rio didn't have much to complete while the most of Stoke's problems originated from out wide. The England global was entirely comfortable coping with these crosses. Patrice Evra: 6 Patrice Evra has already established a couple of true stinkers in United's last couple of games, but returned right back well against Stoke. The Frenchman was overwhelmed by Ryan Shotton a few times nevertheless, and was probably fortunate a decent end product was lacked by his opponent. Michael Carrick: 7 Unpretentious but successful, Michael Carrick was crucial to Manchester United's midfield prominence in the initial half. His goal may well not have looked pretty, but a player like him will really get anything they can enter this department. Julian Finney/Getty Photos John Rooney: 8 Quite possibly the Red Devils' most useful player and a genuine discovery in the box-to-box role. United have lacked a managed, real existence in midfield this period, which begs the questiona'why has not he been applied like this before now? Shinji Kagawa: 7 The Japanese playmaker's passing wasn't excellent Sunday, but he was a positive effect in the ultimate third of a busy pitch. Kagawa darted back and forth, keeping the ball up well in tight situations and giving space for herself and teammates. Antonio Valencia: 3 One is like sighing everytime Antonio Valencia's name is mentioned right now. He was borderline-atrocious against Stoke, failing continually to beat the typical Geoff Cameron after on the dribble and looking generally impotent in attack. Javier Hernandez: 6 A lot of puff and huff for the medical forward, but he received little in how of service from his teammates. Perhaps the greatest plus for the Mexican was his readiness to throw herself around physically against a side the rugby team of the Premier League regarded. Robin van Persie: 7 How relieved did Robin van Persie look when his neatly-taken punishment evaded the going Asmir Begovic? The Dutchman's ecstatic party was a discharge of all pent-up frustration that has been developing during his six hour-plus scoreless function. Julian Finney/Getty Images Replacements Danny Welbeck: N/A A replacement for Javier Hernandez, Welbeck had not enough time to make an effect on the game. Who impressed you most in Sunday's sport? Must Antonio Valencia think about a career-change?
