Manchester United (4-2-3-1)
Dean Henderson 6.5 - Decent home debut and had no chance with either goal.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 6.5 – Great duel with Foden but poor clearance on second goal.
Harry Maguire 6 – Positioning was spot on but moment of hesitancy led to first goal.
Victor Lindelof 6.5 – Made some timely interceptions on his comeback from injury.
Luke Shaw did a good marking job on Raheem Sterling and got forward when he could
Fred 6 – Had his work cut out and had to be careful after getting himself booked.
Scott McTominay 5.5 – Went close with first-half effort but first player subbed.
Paul Pogba 6 – Plenty of effort but didn’t produce enough for a player of his calibre.
Marcus Rashford 6.5 – Looked United’s best bet for a breakthrough but didn’t quite happen.
Bruno Fernandes 6 – Not his night. United’s talisman gave possession away too cheaply.
Luke Shaw 7 - Good marking job on Sterling and got forward whenever he could.
United talisman Bruno Fernandes had an off night and gave possession away too frequently
Anthony Martial 6 - Couple of chances but didn’t cause City enough problems.
Subs: De Gea, Bailly, Mata, Greenwood (for McTominay 75, 6), James, Telles, Matic, Van de Beek (for Fred 88), Tuanzebe.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 6 – A fourth semi-final defeat and a deserved one as well. The wait goes on for United.
