Sportsmail's JACK GAUGHAN was at The Etihad to rate the performances of both sets of players.
MANCHESTER UNITED (3-4-3)
David de Gea - 8
A string of fine early saves kept this goalless as United just about kept themselves afloat.
Victor Lindelof - 7
Held Uniteds defensive line even when faced with plenty of City runners.
David de Gea makes a fine save to keep out a header from Sergio Aguero early on in the game
Harry Maguire 7.5
Battled Aguero and organised United as a captain should. One major blemish went unpunished.
Luke Shaw - 7
Seems to be relishing the left-sided centre half role when called upon. Improving his positional awareness.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 7
The right back had the measure of Sterling for much of this and defended in typical stoic fashion.

Nemanja Matic 6.5
The goalscorer held his own as City pushed for an opener but eventually sent off for persistent tactical fouling.
Fred 8.5
Another calm display, unhurried in possession and broke up play intelligently. Becoming more consistent.

Brandon Williams 6.5
Willing runner up and down the left flank all night and doubled up with Shaw when required.
Mason Greenwood - 6
Found it difficult to get into the game before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacrificed the youngster at half-time.

Anthony Martial - 6
Led the line and was starved of service unless United tried to hit the hosts on the break.
Jesse Lingard 5.5
An industrious performance, although guilty of gifting possession back to City at crucial moments.
