Ederson Two important blocks from Ronaldo in the first half but was surprisingly redundant apart from that - 7
Kyle Walker Late fitness test was a big boost - he shored up the right and restricted his adventure with a disciplined performance - 7
John Stones Under no real pressure, but everything he did was spot on, and United couldn't make an impression on his unflappable cool - 7
Ruben Dias One crunching challenge on Fred in the first half harked back to derby matches of yesteryear - a good tone-setter - 7
Joao Cancelo Forced the opening own goal and then created the second with a teasing far-post ball - 9
Rodri So calm under pressure, trusting his physicality and touch to keep possession - bossed the midfield totally - 9
Ilkay Gundogan Kept the ball moving fluently, linking up the Blues' dangermen to great effect - 8
Kevin De Bruyne Still not functioning at his best but even a 75 per cent KDB was too good for United - 7
Gabriel Jesus Excellent, willing outlet on the right, didn't give the Reds a moment's rest - 8
Bernardo Silva Souness called him "an absolute dream" but he was an absolute nightmare for United - 9
Phil Foden Gave Wan-Bissaka a difficult time all game, and made room for Cancelo to do his thing - 8
