Manchester United player ratings as Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire poor vs Man City in derby

David de Gea

Unfortunate with Kevin de Bruyne's second goal after keeping out Phil Foden's shot and saved well from Riyad Mahrez. Let down for third goal, too. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Picked to be pitted against Raheem Sterling, only he was on the bench, and City had joy down Wan-Bissaka's side. His second-half started as his dreadful first had ended. 3

Victor Lindelof

Lured out of position for the first goal and too tentative for the second. Lacked authority from the first whistle against strikerless City. 5

Harry Maguire

Played into trouble by teammates for the second goal but still outpaced by Foden. Booked for a cynical foul and the ball deflected off him for the third. 4

Alex Telles

Barely bothered by Mahrez and when he finally was he invited him inside to shoot late in the first-half. Busier in the second-half. 5

Scott McTominay

Off the pace for the first goal, failing to track runners, and often swamped by City's superior midfielders. No impact. 5

Fred

Underpinned United's intense pressing and had permission to supplement the attack but did next to nothing after the pause. 5

Bruno Fernandes

A constant outlet, be it creating chances or earning free-kicks through smart in-game management. Became irate once City gained control. 5

Paul Pogba

Benefited from his relocation to a more advanced role and picked out Jadon Sancho superbly. Faded after the pause and taken off. 6

Jadon Sancho

Scored fabulously, using Fernandes as a decoy and then dummying Rodri to briefly draw United level. Quiet in the second-half. 6

Anthony Elanga

Lively enough in attack but naive with his pass that led to the second goal and his decision-making was sometimes sloppy. 5

Subs

Marcus Rashford

No impact. 5

Jesse Lingard

Also no impact. 5

Manager

Opted for an innovative set-up that caused City problems in the first-half but by the time City had figured it out the game was one-sided. 5
