Man United player ratings vs Man City with one 4/10 as Rasmus Hojlund disappoints and Patrick Dorgu frustrates but Bruno Fernandes outstanding in derby

The Manchester derby ended all square as Manchester United drew 0-0 with Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Alejandro Garnacho spurned the best chance of the first half when he failed to convert Diogo Dalot’s cross. Garnacho seemed to be unsure whether to head the cross or hit it and in the end he did neither.

Joshua Zirkzee was introduced in the second half and he went close to opening the scoring with a decent left-footed effort but Ederson denied the Dutchman. United continued to push for a winner but were unable to break the deadlock.

Here are how the players rated at Old Trafford:

Andre Onana

His distribution was a source of frustration for supporters again. Beat away Omar Marmoush’s second-half free kick. 6

Leny Yoro

Switched to the left of the back three after playing on the right against Nottingham Forest. Had little trouble from City. 7

Harry Maguire

Hit one sloppy pass that went unpunished and otherwise made a solid return on his first start in five weeks. Came off before the hour. 6

Noussair Mazraoui

Back on the right of the back three and back to a better level of performance. Superbly denied Phil Foden but troubled a bit by Jeremy Doku. 6

Diogo Dalot

Crossed perfectly for Garnacho, who botched the best chance of the first half. Did little wrong all afternoon. 6

Manuel Ugarte

Erratic with the ball and mishit a volley when Bruno Fernandes clipped the ball over. Went closer with a cleaner-struck volley in the second half. 5

Casemiro

Retained his starting place and was able to keep up with City’s fellow 30-somethings in one of the most sedate derbies of Pep Guardiola’s time in Manchester. 6

Patrick Dorgu

Wasted a presentable opening from Garnacho’s pull-back and guilty of some naive moments. Improved in the second half and created a chance for Zirkzee. 6

Alejandro Garnacho

Started stunningly when he was fouled just outside the area by Ruben Dias. Wasted a great chance from Dalot’s cross. Quieter in the second half. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Started in the front three again to coordinate United’s pressing and was as reliably creative as ever in the first half. Moved back into midfield after Mason Mount emerged. 7

Rasmus Hojlund

A logical starter but showed why he has to be replaced up front in the summer. Barely got a sniff up against Josko Gvardiol. 4

Subs

Victor Lindelof

Replaced Maguire, whose load was managed on his return. 6

Joshua Zirkzee

An upgrade on Hojlund. His half-volley was stopped by Ederson. 7

Mason Mount

Had a shot blocked after Zirkzee’s effort was stopped. Booked. 5
