Man United player ratings: Summer signing fails to stamp authority against 10-man City

Lisandro Martinez – 6.5 – Made three tackles as he did his best to fight off City’s attack.

Youri Tielemans – 5.5 – Despite looking like a promising signing when he joined this summer, Youri Tielemans looked like the weak link in midfield, with Enzo Fernandez comfortably winning that battle.

Kobbie Mainoo – 7 – A bright spark in midfield for United, Kobbie Mainoo also hit the woodwork with a great strike.

Bruno Fernandes – 6.5 – Not at his influential best today, and somewhat fortunate not to also get punished for that Foden incident.

Bryan Mbeumo – 6 – Didn’t provide enough of a threat, and could arguably have done better to track back as Josko Gvardiol got forward from left-back to set up the Haaland winner.

Marcus Rashford – 6.5 – Hit the woodwork and probably had the best game out of the MUFC front three, even if it wasn’t enough to make a meaningful difference.

Matheus Cunha – 6 – Just three shots, and none on target, it was an underwhelming display from Matheus Cunha as United’s main striker.

Subs: Benjamin Sesko (6), Joshua Zirkzee (6)
