Manchester United vs Manchester City player ratings as Haaland steps up while Bruno falters

The Manchester derby ended with Manchester City's 1-0 victory over 10-man Manchester United at Old Trafford. Manchester United's top performer was notably off their game, while Manchester City's standout stood out until he shone in the crucial moment. Here's who shone and who faltered.

Senne Lammens earned a solid save on Enzo Fernandez to keep it 1-0. Diogo Dalot earned 6 for his arrival and staying power. Harry Maguire scored 6, fought hard but didn't influence going forward as he once did. Lisandro Martinez was undone by Haaland's goal, not having help on his left. Patrick Dorgu, with 5, worked hard but switched off, missing a chance to neutralize Josko Gvardiol's cross.

Kobbie Mainoo delivered a standout performance with a 7.5. He set up teammates for numerous opportunities and was a key player. Youri Tielemans contributed 7, focusing on deep passes and creating chances. Marcus Rashford, at 7, hit the post with a solid free kick in the second half. Could he have recovered to find Haaland? Bruno Fernandes, at 5, had the chance to dodge discipline for a foul on Foden but was worth it as City's man was sent off. His creative efforts were limited.

Matheus Cunha earned a 6 for his defensive contributions. Bryan Mbeumo was quiet but could have tied it up in stoppage time. Subs Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee had a 6. Manchester City's players also shone: Gianluigi Donnarumma, Josko Gvardiol, Marc Guehi, Matheus Nunes, and Elliot Anderson all performed exceptionally. Erling Haaland scored the winning goal with an 8, and his contributions were pivotal.
