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

Manchester City 0-0 Manchester United - PLAYER RATINGS: Henrikh Mkhitaryan suffers off night as Vincent Kompany produces big performance

* Pep Guardiola's side were dominant in second period but lacked a cutting edge
* Marouane Fellaini was shown a straight red card for a wild headbutt on Aguero


Ten-man Manchester United held on for a point as rivals City were unable to capitalise late on after Marouane Fellaini's sending off at the Etihad Stadium.

Sergio Aguero hit the foot of a United post in the first half before Ander Herrera missed a free header, but chances were few and far between before Fellaini's moment of madness.

Having picked up a booking, Fellaini dived into another challenge on Aguero 19 seconds later, before throwing his head into the face of the Argentine to receive a straight red card.

After a typically high-octane clash in the fight for a top-four finish, Sportsmail's JACK GAUGHAN was on hand to assess the performances of those on show.

MANCHESTER UNITED (4-3-3)

DAVID DE GEA - 6.5

Made a few comfortable saves when he needed to. Confident with his feet and good distribution.


Ecuadorian full-back Antonio Valencia was another dependable presence in United's defence

ANTONIO VALENCIA - 6.5

Quiet in an attacking sense but that was largely down to United's game plan. Sane barely got any joy so job done in that sense.

ERIC BAILLY - 7.5

Strong night for the Ivorian. No-nonsense, Bailly keeps it simple and has a huge last ditch tackle in his locker.


Defender Eric Bailly was kept busy by a dominant City side as he slides in on Leroy Sane

DALEY BLIND - 6.5

Reads the game imperiously but is susceptible in behind, as Aguero showed when wriggling free.

MATTEO DARMIAN - 6.5

Sterling didn't really get in behind despite driving with the ball. Quickly passed on possession and didn't venture forward.

ANDER HERRERA - 6

Derbies are Herrera's bag and the Spaniard was terrier-like in midfield. Niggled away at City.

MICHAEL CARRICK - 7

Manfully stuck to De Bruyne throughout. No mean feat given the Belgian looked in menacing mood.

MAROUANE FELLAINI - 4.5

Ridiculous red card. Two stupid fouls and then a deserved sending off for a petulant headbutt. Irresponsible reaction and had barely contributed beforehand either.

HENRIKH MKHITARYAN - 5

As Jose Mourinho's alluded to, he needs to start producing consistently. Passive again and that will be a worry.

MARCUS RASHFORD - 7

Really lively with a couple of lovely tricks. Rashford was the most likely for United but appeared isolated.

ANTHONY MARTIAL - 6

Always has his moments - and tracked back admirably at times - but Rashford needed more support from wide areas.


Forward Anthony Martial was given the nod by Jose Mourinho on the left wing at the Etihad

SUBS

JESSE LINGARD (for Martial, 80)
TIMOTHY FOSU-MENSAH (for Mkhitaryan, 86) ASHLEY YOUNG (for Rashford, 90)

Manager: JOSE MOURINHO - 6.5

Wanted to stifle City for as long as possible and managed that by and large.

Ref: MARTIN ATKINSON - 5

Misses an awful lot for a FIFA referee. Seemed to upset everybody inside the Etihad equally.
