Foden red but Haaland scores winner - Utd v City player ratings
How Manchester United and Manchester City players rated in the derby clash at Old Trafford.
Manchester City extended their flawless start to the season with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Despite Phil Foden's early red card, the home side held on to secure the win.
Shamoon Hafez was the standout performer for City, scoring the decisive goal. Gianluigi Donnarumma made crucial saves, including one to deny Bruno Fernandes from range and another to deny Bryan Mbeumo in stoppage time.
Manchester United's efforts were noted, with players like Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo showing promise. However, injuries and poor decisions, such as Bruno Fernandes' offside call and Diogo Dalot's missed chance, hindered their performance.
New signings Iliman Ndiaye and Youri Tielemans were brought on but didn't have the same impact as expected. Bruno Fernandes was fortunate not to face a sanction following the incident that led to Foden's dismissal.
