David de Gea
Kept United in it at 1-0 with five saves - some superb - but cracked by conceding softly to Bernardo Silva. 7
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
A £50million flop on this performance. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had to tell him where to stand at one point and his positioning was often dreadful. 1
Victor Lindelof
Passed a late fitness test and almost scored an own goal but was not embarrassed as obviously as others. 5
Eric Bailly
Cracked within seven minutes by scoring a comical own goal. Substituted at half-time as United changed to a back four. 4
Harry Maguire
Left in the mud a couple of times by City's slickness and was unable to arrest his poor form. 5
Luke Shaw
Created a chance for Cristiano Ronaldo but dithered for the second goal and was forced off with a head injury. 4
Scott McTominay
Shown up by better midfielders. McTominay needed too many touches or too much time and often ran out of time. 4
Fred
Similar to McTominay. Lacked the presence and slickness to ever trouble City. He was sarcastically cheered off. 4
Bruno Fernandes
The ends often do not justify the means with Fernandes, regularly wasteful with the ball when United needed to cherish it. 3
Mason Greenwood
An aimless return to the starting XI. Never got going next to Ronaldo and was taken off for Rashford. 4
Cristiano Ronaldo
His left-footed volley drew a save from Ederson but that was his only sighter as he was usually isolated. 5
Subs
Jadon Sancho
Brought some energy but did not truly test Kyle Walker. 5
Marcus Rashford
Made no impact. 4
Alex Telles
Replaced Shaw. 4
Donny van de Beek
Lifted the crowd. 6
Manager - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Retaining the back three was understandable but the experiment should have ended before half-time. United were in defeatist mode in the second-half. 4
