Man City Player Ratings vs Man Utd
Gianluigi donnarumma -8
Every time the cross comes near him, it is authority. A solid first half save from Benjamin Sesco made a great use of his towering frame and made an excellent save from Mbeumo 2-0.
Abdukodir Khusanov -7
A surprising choice from the right back. There were some nervous moments in the first half, but they grew into the game and fought throughout.
Reuben Diaz-7
It’s as easy as you get for the central defender on Derby day. The highlight was when he told Gvardiol to stop checking Noussair Mazraoui after he tweeted him off the pitch.
Josko Gvardiol -7
First game of the season and central defense. We had a quiet afternoon, but never really tested by United’s poor attacks.
Nico O’Reilly-7
It is usually a replacement for the central central section this season, but now it will return to the left back. He was solid, showing his versatility and occupying some clever central positions.
Rodri-6
You will benefit from a long, competitive outing. He shows his promise despite not being in his best form in the first half and losing ownership several times.
Tijjani reijnders -7
Despite one target offpass in the first half, he effectively linked the play in the number eight role. He should have changed opportunities in both halves.
Phil Foden -8
Showing the real characters and suggesting that they return to the top form. He scored impressive goals and worked well in a consistently central role.
Bernardo Silva-7
The unexpected starter on the right, Foden, is played in the center. He challenged Patrick Dorg, confused by tight control and set the third goal with a quick advance pass.
Jeremy Doku -8
He certainly delivered last week after expressing his desire to gain more goals and support. Supported the first and second goals. He showed his first footwork and a second smart pass.
Erling Haaland -8
The opportunity for goalscoring comes from two fine finishes, and even ruthless when defensively lacking, making some corners transparent. But they should score a hat-trick against United.
