Man Utd player ratings vs Man City as Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes excellent

Man Utd beat Man City in the Premier League at Old Trafford and here are how the players rated.

United turned the game around

David de Gea

Used his feet more than his hands against a parsimonious City. Had no chance with the goal. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

City ran riot against him last season but had no joy this time in what was another defensively secure performance from the right-back. 7

Raphael Varane

Tracked Erling Haaland when he dropped deep and was commanding in the aerial duels. 7

Luke Shaw

Did not get much hassle from Erling Haaland. Resorted to the odd piece of cynical defending for the benefit of the team. Big header late on. 7

Tyrell Malacia

Justified his selection with a comprehensive outing but he was lured out of position for Jack Grealish’s goal. 6

Casemiro

His role changed slightly with Christian Eriksen as the 10 and he tried to get United up the pitch. Could not stop Kevin de Bruyne from crossing for Grealish. Dogged in defending the lead. 6

Fred

Skinned by Kevin de Bruyne early on, he won two duels with the Belgian that stirred the crowd with his commitment and proactive play. Another fine derby display. 8

Christian Eriksen

Moved forward to the No.10 role, he linked the play well when he got the ball in the first half but waned in the second and was substituted. 5

Bruno Fernandes

Shot wide when he should have at least hit the target. Made amends by equalising for the game-changing moment. 7

Marcus Rashford

Had two excellent chances before he broke down and required treatment at the end of the first half. Effectively got an ‘assist’ by leaving the ball for Fernandes and then made it 2-1. 8

Anthony Martial

Irked the crowd on at least two occasions and came off at half-time. It was impossible to tell if he was injured, Martial was that lackadaisical. 4

Subs

Antony

Did not do much. 5

Alejandro Garnacho

Assisted Rashford. 7
