Manchester United (5-3-2) 

David de Gea - 5

Beaten at his near post for the first goal and Sane’s second went straight through him.

Ashley Young - 6

Dealt well with Sterling’s threat for half an hour but struggled as City upped their game.  

Matteo Darmian - 6 

Faded on his first league start in four months. Turned his back on Sane for the second goal.

Chris Smalling - 5.5

Lucky that De Gea got across to prevent an own-goal, and a little reckless at times.

Victor Lindelof - 6.5

So much happier in the middle of defence. Cleared the danger on numerous occasions.

Victor Lindelof looked much more settled at the heart of the United defence and made some important clearances

Luke Shaw - 6

Did good job on Bernardo in the first half but wasn’t quick enough to close him down for the goal.

Andreas Pereira - 5

One of five changes from weekend. Game passed him by and was booked for fouling Zinchenko.

Fred - 5

Gave the ball away for second goal. Worked hard but still seems odd City wanted to sign him. 

Paul Pogba - 6

Another one of those frustrating nights. Some nice passes but gave away possession far too easily.

Jesse Lingard - 6

Fluffed a glaring chance to equalise
