Robin van Persie scored a superb hat-trick to overturn Manchester United's two-goal deficit from the first leg and send them into the Champions League quarter-final draw.

Van Persie was fantastic on the night but there were several other stand out players for United on a stellar evening at Old Trafford.

David de Gea made several key saves to keep United in it and earn a vital clean sheet.

Wayne Rooney was tireless all game long and Ryan Giggs rolled back the years to run things in midfield.

But who was pick of the players?
