Manchester City player ratings
Ederson: 6 – Got close to the penalty kick and couldn’t do anything about Shaw’s goal. Aside from that, superb save to deny Martial.
Joao Cancelo: 5 – Very tough outing. Shaw gave him so many problems, and Rashford got behind him on several occasions. Subbed off.
Ruben Dias: 6 – Didn’t really put a foot wrong, but the entire City defense looked stunned to actually be behind in a game.
John Stones: 6 – See above. Not a bad display, but United’s counter attacks exposed City. Missed a couple of chances to score.
Oleksandr Zinchenko: 5 – Daniel James gave him a tough outing, as City’s two full backs were the weak links.
Rodri: 6 – Clipped the bar with a shot early in the second half, but couldn’t dictate the tempo.
Raheem Sterling: 5 – Really good battle with Wan-Bissaka, which he lost. Couldn’t get free in the box and missed a sitter.
Ilkay Gundogan: 6 – He made some great runs into the box but City couldn’t find him.
Kevin de Bruyne: 5 – A very rare off day from KDB, who gave the ball away sloppily on a few occasions.
Riyad Mahrez: 5 – Quiet game. Luke Shaw didn’t give him much space to operate in.
Gabriel Jesus: 4 – Gave the ball away after 20 seconds, then gave a penalty away after 35 seconds as he tried to win it back. That set the tone for a torrid display, and gave United the upper-hand from the first minute.
Substitution
Kyle Walker (65′ on for Cancelo): 6 – Did well defensively and sent in some great crosses.
Phil Foden (70′ on for Jesus): 7 – Almost scored and was so bright after coming on.
Manchester United player ratings
Dean Henderson: 7 – Very solid as he continues to stand in for David de Gea. Looked calm and composed throughout and played a key role in Shaw’s goal.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka: 8 – Won his battle against Sterling, who moved centrally eventually. His good season is getting better.
Victor Lindelof: 7 – Did his job with minimum fuss and positioning was very good.
Harry Maguire: 7 – See above. Booked early on, but never looked out of control.
Luke Shaw: 9 – Stunning display as he continues his superb season. Great goal and dominated the left flank.
Scott McTominay: 7 – Did a great job to shield the back four.
Fred: 7 – See above. Worked great as a duo with McTominay on another clinical away day.
Daniel James: 7 – Always a threat and available on the counter. Worked hard and perfect for a game like this. His resurgence continues.
Bruno Fernandes: 7 – Scored his penalty kick and dictated counter attacks.
Marcus Rashford: 6 – Looked to be struggling with a shoulder injury, but battled hard. Set up Shaw for his goal and came off injured in second half.
Anthony Martial: 8 – Excellent center forward display. Won the penalty early, could have scored a few of his own and held the ball up really well.
Substitutions
Mason Greenwood (73′ on for Rashford): 6 – Worked hard defensively.
Nemanja Matic (88′ on for Martial): N/A
Brandon Williams (90′ on for Fernandes): N/A
