Man City player ratings: David Silva and Leroy Sane superb vs Manchester United

Ederson

Vital first half contribution to race from his line and make a block as Marcus Rashford tried to round him. So cool in possession 7

Kyle Walker

A relatively quiet game as City were often forced to attack down the left. Didn't do much wrong defensively 6

Vincent Kompany

Pep Guardiola values his experience but he looked rattled early on by Rashford's pace and was booked inside 10 minutes. Recovered well 6

Aymeric Laporte

Kept Rashford quiet when he came up against him, positioning himself well to avoid too many foot races 7

Aleks Z inchenko

Booked in the first half and wasteful with the ball, regularly wasting good positions for the Blues 5

Fernandinho

One vital interception in the first half and injured from a block on Paul Pogba early in the second 7

Ilkay Gundogan

Poor in possession in the first half but actually improved when he took Fernandinho's role 7

David Silva

Something of a return to form the Spaniard. So many of City's attacks went through him and while he didn't always find the right ball he regularly kept the Blues on the front foot 8

Bernardo Silva

Quiet first half but he's so often been the key man for City this season and he did so again, popping up with the vital first goal to ease nerves 7

Raheem Sterling

Great foot work in the first half to create a chance for himself and picked the right pass for City's second 7

Sergio Aguero

Hit the post with a second half chance. Dropped deep to try and link play but wasn't at his very best 7

Subs

Leroy Sane (for Fernandinho 51)

Had a point to prove to Guardiola and he did it in style. Immediately forced United back and deserved his goal. The game changer 8

Gabriel Jesus (for Aguero 89)

Too late to mark

Danilo (for Gundogan 89)

Too late to mark

Not used: Aro Muric, Nicolas Otamendi, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez,
