Default Re: [EPL] Manchester United 2-0 Manchester City

PLAYER RATINGS: Ederson was uncharacteristically horrendous whilst Aaron Wan-Bissaka relished the challenge of Raheem Sterling

* David De Gea had hardly anything to do as Man City failed to fashion chances
* Harry Maguire had a few shaky moments but held his own against Sergio Aguero
* Ederson made a horrendous error for both of United's goals on Sunday afternoon
* Fernandinho appeared relatively comfortable, even with United's pace in attack


Manchester United stunned their rivals City to continue their march towards the top four on Sunday.

Anthony Martial gave the hosts the lead after a well-worked free-kick from Bruno Fernandes before Scott McTominay rounded off the 2-0 win late on.

Sportsmail's Jack Gaughan has the ratings from Old Trafford...

Manchester United (3-4-1-2)

David De Gea – 6.5

Hardly anything to do as City failed to fashion meaningful chances – good late save to stop Gabriel Jesus.

Victor Lindelof - 7

No-nonsense performance, refusing to take any risks and swept up intelligently when City broke.

Harry Maguire – 7.5

A few shaky moments but held his own against Sergio Aguero and marshalled the United back line.

Luke Shaw – 6.5

Continues to look more at home in a back three. Stood up to City's movement in the early exchanges.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 8.5

Relished the challenge of Raheem Sterling and defended superbly throughout. Ventured forward menacingly.

Nemanja Matic – 7

Kept things simple and underlined why United will give the central midfielder a new contract.

Fred - 7

All-action display as his stock keeps rising at Old Trafford. Gives them plenty of energy in midfield.

Brandon Williams – 6.5

Had the measure of Phil Foden; less so Riyad Mahrez. Always seems so composed in tight areas.

Bruno Fernandes – 7.5

Ingenuity has given United a different dimension. X-ray vision to assist the opening goal.

Daniel James – 7

The youngster's pace gave Nicolas Otamendi all sorts of problems. Final ball occasionally lacking.

Anthony Martial - 8

Always a threat in behind and the goalscorer's movement a constant thorn in City's side.


Anthony Martial gave Manchester United a first half lead after firing home from a free-kick


Strikes from Scott McTominay and Martial earned United a huge 2-0 win over rivals City

Subs

Eric Bailly (for Williams, 78)

Scott McTominay (for Martial, 78)

Odion Ighalo (for Fernandes, 88)

Subs not used: Romero, Mata, Greenwood, Tuanzebe

Manager: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 7

Game plan worked a treat again in a big fixture. Gamble to sit back with the substitutions late on paid off.

Referee: Mike Dean – 5

City will argue Dean was incorrect when awarding the key free-kick before half-time.


Referee Mike Dean booked United midfielder Fred for diving instead of giving a foul
