Manchester United kickstarted their season with a thrilling 2-0 derby win at Man City on Sunday.
His handling was superb all day – as was his distribution, which included the build-up to Shaw’s goal.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 7
Once again got the better of Sterling. Numerous important interceptions and challenges.
Victor Lindelof 7
Limited City to few real goal-scoring chances. Controlled performance.
Harry Maguire 7
Absolutely dominant in the air. Bossed City’s attack.
Another outstanding performance from him – both in limiting Mahrez’ chances, but forcing City back with his driving runs, and scored a vital goal.
Scott McTominay 7
Along with Fred, he was tireless in closing down space and trying to break up play.
Fred 7
Given a job to detail the runs of De Bruyne and that was pivotal to curtailing the Belgian’s impact.
Daniel James 5
His pace was a threat, but Zinchenko had the better of him.
Bruno Fernandes 7
Nerves of steel to put United ahead from the spot. Could have done better with some promising moments in attack, but still a huge problem with the positions he took up.
Marcus Rashford 7
Worked really hard to help out the defence. Failed to take advantage of a couple of threatening breaks when he took the wrong decision. Injury will be a worry to United and England
Caused City problems from the first minute when winning a penalty. He has the touch and attitude for these occasions, but wasted two golden opportunities to kill the game off in the second half.
