Manchester City (4-1-4-1)
Ederson The least heralded of City's A-listers stood no chance with Marcus Rashford's finish and was as confident as usual. 7
Kyle Walker At 33 years old, the captain shows no decline in his pace and shut down United's occasional attacks. 7
Juan Piedras Initially, Unsttled became an additional schemer to help make the Reds dizzy in the central zones and their area. 7
Ruben Dias He was unable to get close to Bruno Fernandes when the latter set up Rashford's goal, but settled into a dominant City outing. 7
Nathan Ake Powerless to affect Rashford's goal when he arrived from the other flank. Uber-reliable. 7
Rodri Usual purring presence in the heart of the city. He set up Erling Haaland's shot with a killer pass. 8
Bernard Silva Peripheral in the first half, the Portuguese became key in an excellent performance by City in the second half. 7
Kevin De Bruyne Intelligent movement, silky passing and the will to drive his team forward were present throughout. 7
Phil Foden A perfect long-range draw followed by a decisive second taken in stride on a highlight reel. 9
Jeremy Doku He shot wildly and went down more than once and with Jack Grealish injured Pep Guardiola turned to Julián Álvarez. 5
Erling Haaland He caught a header from close range and then an even closer volley, but his third goal in added time oozed class. 7
Substitutes: Julian Alvarez (for Doku 59) 6; Oscar bob (for Foden 90) 6.
Manchester United (4-2-3-1)
André Onana Best opening half for United, including clearance for Rashford's goal, but could Foden's second have been saved? 7
Diogo Dalot He had been composed until he was part of the right back destroyed by Foden-Álvarez's double that made it 2-1 to City. 5

Rafael Varane He had an eagle eye to make crucial interventions and rightly received a booking to stop Haaland. 5
Johnny Evans He was often designated as the man to watch over Haaland and showed courage by using the frame as a barrier. 5
Victor Lindelof Deployed at left-back, he was often concerned about Walker's speed and should have closed down Foden ahead of the former. 4
casemiro Stones' perfect tackle in the box impressed, but he was unable to manage any control in midfield. 4
Kobbie Mainoo Spied in defense, midfield and attack but the young man's first derby passed him by. 4
Scott McTominay Rightly preferred to the average Antony, the Scot failed to cause City any problems. 4
Alejandro Garnacho He made a switch to help at the back but failed to pierce the home barrier as he ran in. 5
Mark Rashford He needed a big performance and a 20-yard rocket that hit the crossbar was a great start, but he wasted more chances. 7
Bruno Fernandez He fluttered from the false number 9 position. He created the muscular Rashford opener to contain Dias. 7
Substitutes: Willy Kambwala (for Evans 69) 6; Anthony (for Rashford 75) 6; Sofia Amrabat (for Mainoo 82) 4; Omari Forson (for Garnacho 82) 5.
