HOW THEY RATED

- RATINGS by JOHN CROSS

4-2-1-3 FORMATION

Stefan ORTEGA 5 EARLY nerves unsettled City defence which lead to United’s opener. Kyle WALKER 6 FRUSTRATED skipper’s best contributi­on was his long-range efforts. John STONES 7 GOT better in second half when he stepped into midfield. Nathan AKE 4 HAD a stinker. Substitute­d at half-time. Did not look right. Josko GVARDIOL 6 UNDONE by Garnacho on the first goal. Below par. RODRI 6 SPAIN midfielder’s 74-game unbeaten run finally came to an end. Mateo KOVACIC 4 POOR. The Croatian deserved to be replaced at half-time. Kevin DE BRUYNE 5 SO quiet by his world-class standards. Rare off day. Bernardo SILVA 6 USUALLY so crucial but struggled to get into the game while isolated out wide. Phil FODEN 6 LOCAL hero (below with Pep Guardiola) quiet from the left in first half, better after break. Erling HAALAND 6 SMASHED the woodwork in the second half. As close as he came.

4-2-1-3 FORMATION

Andre ONANA 6 LATE howler spoiled an otherwise excellent display from Cameroon man. Aaron WAN-BISSAKA 7 LOOKS so much better on the right where he is more secure. Lisandro MARTINEZ 7 SO important for United – what a warrior and leader the little guy is. Raphael VARANE 7 SOME way to go out. Excellent. If only he had been fit more often. Diogo DALOT 7 ONE of United’s best performers all season. Very impressive again. Kobbie MAINOO 8 ICE-COOL finish showed his quality. Gives England a summer dilemma. Sofyan AMRABAT 7 HIS size makes it hard for him to be mobile. Stuck to his task this time. Alejandro GARNACHO 8 SCORED one, involved in another and showed his quality. Top player. Scott McTOMINAY 7 MR Commitment. Was class after the final whistle in thanking the fans. Marcus RASHFORD 7 FORWARD (below) rose to Gareth Southgate challenge to prove him wrong. Dangerous. Bruno FERNANDES 9 BRILLIANT captain’s display. Best player on the pitch – and United’s hero.
