Another lifeless display from the England striker and another humbling day for United at Old Trafford.

United’s prior performances predicted another humbling derby loss to Manchester City on Sunday, and they got it. It wasn’t as bad as 2011’s 6-1 battering or last season’s 6-3 thrashing at the Etihad Stadium, but it was disappointing.

City outplayed United in every department, notably offensively, where they had no answer. Marcus Rashford had another terrible game, creating little dаnger and missing a clear goal chance in the second half.

His striking partner, Rasmus Hojlund, was considerably more dynamic, although his foul led to Erling Haaland’s penalty (after a severe VAR intervention) and he failed to capitalize on his few chances.

Goalkeeper & Defence

Andre Onana (8/10):

Made some fine saves from Grealish and Haaland, including one leap across his line to deny the striker. Little he could do about the goals.

Diogo Dalot (5/10):

His defensive frailties were exposed by Grealish and he rarely got forward.

Harry Maguire (6/10):

A solid performance overall. Made two big clearances and did not allow himself to be overrun.

Jonny Evans (5/10):

From an individual point of view he was OK, but the fact United chose him to deal with Haaland says it all.

Victor Lindelof (5/10):

A surprise pick at left-back over Reguilon and didn’t justify it.

Midfield

Christian Eriksen (5/10):

His long passes were United’s only hope of creating dаnger, but he couldn’t perform his defensive duties properly.

Sofyan Amrabat (5/10):

Couldn’t keep up with Bernardo and got a booking for tangling with Foden. Hooked at half-time for Mount.

Bruno Fernandes (5/10):

Couldn’t influence the game and must take responsibility for the midfield getting overwhelmed.

аttаck

Scott McTominay (5/10):

Had two attempts on goal but too lightweight and couldn’t help United loosen City’s grip on midfield.

Rasmus Hojlund (6/10):

His overall play was good and he was always on the Һunt for slip in the defence. But showed a lack of experience at both ends, giving away the penalty for tangling with Rodri and staying on his feet when he could have gone over from contact by Stones.

Marcus Rashford (3/10):

Had no link-up play of note and when he got one good chance to score he scuffed it wide. Another terrible performance from last season’s talisman.

Subs & Manager

Mason Mount (5/10):

Had 45 minutes to make an impact and couldn’t come close.

Alejandro Garnacho (6/10):

Showed some urgency but no end product.

Sergio Reguilon (5/10):

The game was a lost cause when he came on and there was little he could do change it.

Antony (N/A):

Only came on in the 86th minute and still managed a booking.

Antony Martial (N/A):

Only came on in the 86th minute.

Erik ten Hag (5/10):

His line-up was too defensive and this was a predictably torrid performance from his team. Yet again.
