I watched this game, for me, De Gea was the best player on the pitch, first it was him Vs Sterling and later him Vs Balotelli and he came out on top, making incredible saves, especially the first one he made against Balotelli.
Carrick did well too, but De Gea was simply unbelievable. Read what Mr Carrick said after the cut and tell us who is your Man of the match?
"I think today Carrick at the back made a big difference," Van Persie told Sky Sports.
"He's so confident on the ball. Jones played really well, all the back four or five played really well. They were really calm today."
Goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Van Persie secured United's sixth consecutive victory which has given the club a three-point cushion over West Ham, who sit in fourth place.
"I think in those games it's always important to score first," said the Dutchman.
"It just gives you an extra bit of confidence, and although I think at times we were a bit sloppy, but overall we kept the ball well and played the ball well."
Mata's goal from close range doubled United's lead five minutes before the break but Van Persie admits he got a touch on the ball, which put the Spaniard in a offside position when he fired past Brad Jones.
"I got a touch, yeah, I have to be honest," Van Persie said. "I got a touch so you can put that down as an assist!"
