Dean Henderson
Commanded box and throw to Shaw sparked United’s second. Staked his claim for the number one spot with near flawless showing. 8
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
He often thrives at the Etihad and had the better of Sterling once again. Diligent defensive display. 7
Harry Maguire
Captain’s performance as he lead against one of the best frontlines across Europe. Brave playing a high line and produced number of crucial clearances. 8
Victor Lindelof
There was some concern from fans when the Swede was preferred to Bailly but Lindelof is a man for the big occasion. Read City’s attacks brilliantly and was courageous on the ball. 9
Luke Shaw
Superb goal will be a highlight of his career and it was preceded by his own attacking ambition. Proficient defensively and he keeps getting better going forward. 9
Fred
Often swarmed in the opening minutes but wasn’t unnerved and played with confidence and heart. 7
Scott McTominay
Imprecise in possession too often in first-half but became more composed and he was a nuisance for City who struggled to build sustained pressure. 7
Bruno Fernandes
Maligned by some for record against ‘Big Six’ but delivered when it mattered. Showed bottle to score penalty and was the platform United attacked from. 7
Marcus Rashford
Assisted Shaw for crucial second and his desire to work back off the ball ultimately led to injury. 7
Daniel James
Saw little of the ball in the opening stages but his work rate has to be admired and he provided great support for Wan-Bissaka. 7
Anthony Martial
Won the penalty in the first-minute and that set the tone for his best performance in months. The only criticism can be his profligate finishing. 8
Substitutes
Mason Greenwood
Worked hard upon late entry. 6
Nemanja Matic
