Here’s a look at the Manchester United vs Manchester City player ratings in full, with marks out of 10 and analysis on each player.
Manchester United player ratings
--------------------------------
**Senne Lammens**: 7 - Made one good stop to deny Alleyne’s header in the first half and didn’t have much else to do.
**Diogo Dalot**: 6.5 - Lucky to stay on the pitch after his high challenge on Doku, but walked the tight rope well and offered a threat in attack.
**Harry Maguire**: 8 - Should have scored just a few minutes in but somehow hit the bar with a header. On his return to the team, very impressive that he kept Haaland quiet.
**Lisandro Martinez**: 8 - Some vital blocks and did a real job on Haaland whenever City did get the ball to him.
**Luke Shaw**: 7 - Like Dalot, recovered well after an early yellow card. Linked up really well with Dorgu on the left.
**Casemiro**: 8 - Used all of his experience to win the ball back time and time again. Could have scored in the second half too.
**Kobbie Mainoo**: 7 - Really efficient display in midfield keeping things ticking over, and pretty incredible how long he played given his lack of minutes.
**Amad Diallo**: 9 - What a return after being away at AFCON. A constant threat on the right and heavily involved in everything good going forward for United. Almost scored a beauty late on but hit the post after a mazy run.
**Bruno Fernandes**: 8 - Classy display in his usual playmaking role. Set up Mbeumo’s goal and hit so many quality long balls.
**Patrick Dorgu**: 8 - Almost scored in the first half and did get his goal in the second with a tidy finish. He kept popping up in dangerous areas at the back post and worked so hard.
**Bryan Mbeumo**: 9 - Fine finish for his goal on the counter and made City’s defense so uncomfortable. Ran himself into the ground on his return from AFCON.
SubsMatheus Cunha on for Mbeumo: 7 - Set up Dorgu for one goal and showed really quality on the counter.Manuel Ugarte on for Casemiro: 6 - Helped keep things calm late on and sat in well. Ayden Heaven on for Shaw: N/A
Mason Mount on for Fernandes: N/A
Manchester City player ratings
------------------------------
**Gianluigi Donnarumma**: 8 - Made plenty of fine saves to deny United but just couldn’t keep doing it. Given very little protection and made another fine save to deny Amad late on.
**Rico Lewis**: 5 - Shaky throughout and didn’t see Dorgu drifting in for the second goal. Sums up a poor season for Lewis.
**Abdukodir Khusanov**: 6 - Did okay out of all the City defenders but that isn’t saying much. A few good recovery tackles.
**Max Alleyne**: 4 - The teenager really struggled with Mbeumo buzzing around him. Subbed off at half time.
**Nathan Ake**: 4 - Really struggled, especially in the second half when he moved to center back.
**Rodri**: 5 - Totally overrun in midfield and quite sad to see him not able to dictate the tempo of the game.
**Antoine Semenyo**: 6 - A few nice touches and curled one effort wide. Like City’s other attackers he didn’t see enough of the ball.
**Bernardo Silva**: 5 - Pretty anonymous as the game bypassed City’s midfield. You’d expect him to have grabbed control of this.
**Phil Foden**: 4 - Barely had a kick and subbed off at half time. The pace of the game seemed to be too much for him.
**Jeremy Doku**: 6 - The one City forward who always looked like doing something in the first half. Took an early whack from Dalot but never stopped running.
**Erling Haaland**: 4 - Subbed off in the second half and he can have no complaints. He didn’t get much service and took a whack before half time as he wasn’t moving freely.
SubsRayan Cherki: 6 - Showed a few flashes of skill and tried to make things happen. Nico O’Reilly: 4 - Really struggled at left back after being booked right after coming on. Divine Musaka on for Haaland: N/ATiijani Reijnders on for Silva: N/A
Rayan Ait-Nouri on for Doku: N/A
