Manchester United earned bragging rights over Manchester City as they won the derby to complete a league double over their rivals for the first time in a decade.
James Robson was at Old Trafford to run the rule over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men...
David de Gea 7
A good save to deny Sterling after United suffered a nervous start. Good in the air when needed.
Victor Lindelof 7
Composed display to limit City to very few chances.
Harry Maguire 8
A couple of misjudgements to start with. After that he totally grew into the game and barely gave Aguero a kick.
Luke Shaw 8
Getting better and better every week. Caught dithering by Aguero early on, but after that won just about everything that came his way.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 9
An absolutely immense performance both defensively and going forward. Sterling couldn’t get any change out of him. Is there a better tackler in English football?
Nemanja Matic 7
His form was rewarded as Solskjaer picked him ahead of McTominay – and he justified that decision. Early tackle to deny Aguero typified his dominant display.
Bruno Fernandes 8
Has quickly become United’s talisman. Set up Martial’s goal with a wonderful piece of improvisation – and also set James clear for another golden chance.
Fred 7
Won so many balls in midfield to break up play and keep City on the back foot when United were at their best in the first half.
Brandon Williams 8
Managed to keep Foden quiet at the same time as frightening the life out of Cancelo. Brilliant performance.
Daniel James 7
Still makes the wrong decision too often, but frightened City with his pace and forced two saves from Ederson.
Anthony Martial 8
Brilliant goal to cap off a tireless performance that could and probably should have given him more. Another sign of how he’s grown this season.
Substitutes
- Eric Bailly (Williams, 78), 6: Full-bloodied display when he came on – repelling everything in the air.
- Scott McTominay (Martial, 78), 7: What a strike. Not quite a ‘Beckham’ – but it’s hard to remember Old Trafford erupting like this in a long time.
- Odion Ighalo (Fernandes, 88), N/A: Did what was asked when he came on by throwing himself about City’s defence.
