This is how the United players rated:
Senne Lammens: Lost his bearings to needlessly concede a first-half corner but made amends with a save from Max Alleyne. Good hands in the second half. 7
Diogo Dalot: Booked for a reckless early challenge on Jeremy Doku and then a poor pass straight out of play, but did well to recover his poise after that. 7
Harry Maguire: Should probably have scored early in the game but excellent defensively against Erling Haaland. A real front-foot performance. 8
Lisandro Martinez: Superb sliding block on Haaland early in the second half. Read the game well and was good on the ball. 7

Lisandro Martinez: Superb sliding block on Haaland early in the second half. Read the game well and was good on the ball. 7
Amad: A real livewire. Tormented Nathan Ake and then got Nico O’Reilly booked inside three minutes. Could have easily had a goal and was a threat throughout. Hit the post late on. 8
Bruno Fernandes: Unlucky with the narrowest of offside calls. A sublime pass to create a chance for Dorgu and perfect pass for the goal. Bruno at his best. 8
Patrick Dorgu: A surprise selection but what an impact. Sharp on the ball, good first-half volley and really alert to get the second goal. 8
Bryan Mbeumo: Exceptional work rate and clever movement to try and pull City’s defenders out of position. Good volley to test Donnarumma and clinical with his next chance. 8
Substitutes
Matheus Cunha: Made an impact at both ends of the pitch. Big tackle on the edge of his own area and assist for Dorgu’s goal. 7
Manuel Ugarte: Little time to make an impact after coming on for the shattered Casemiro. 6
Mason Mount: Thought he had scored late on but ruled out for offside. 7
Ayden Heaven: A late introduction. 6
