Foden Sees Red, Mainoo Shines in Manchester Derby Ratings

September 14, 2026Carlos Mendoza2 мин

Senne Lammens: Faced few tests. Made a crucial save from Fernandez, denying City a second goal. 7

Diogo Dalot: Missed a chance to score on his 250th Manchester United appearance; failed to control a pass into the box. Was offside just before halftime. Shot wide after the break. 4

Harry Maguire: Solid performance. Came close to equalizing with a late header. Booked for a push on Enzo Fernandez in the box. 6

Lisandro Martinez: Won the ball from Haaland after Fernandes misplaced a pass towards his own goal. A decent showing. 7

Patrick Dorgu: Replaced Shaw at left back. Performed adequately but lacked connection with Rashford. His attempted block was vital to City's opener. 6

Kobbie Mainoo: Another confident display watched by England boss Thomas Tuchel. Nearly gave his team the lead after halftime, proving to be the home side's most effective midfielder. 8

Youri Tielemans (subbed off 66 for Sesko): His best performance of the season, though he still awaits the impactful contribution expected. 7

Bryan Mbeumo: United's most dangerous attacker. Had a header go just wide and later forced a save. 8

Bruno Fernandes: Fortunate to avoid punishment for the incident leading to Foden's dismissal. Not his best game. 6

Marcus Rashford (subbed off 83 for Zirkzee): Hit the post with a long-range free-kick and shot into the side-netting. Still seeking his first goal since returning. 6

Matheus Cunha: Started ahead of Sesko, dragging an early shot wide. Dropped deep often but lacked clear chances. Off target in the second half. 7

Substitutes:

Benjamin Sesko (on 66, replacing Tielemans): Brought on to influence the game, tried his luck from distance shortly after coming on. 6

Joshua Zirkzee (on 83, replacing Rashford): 6

Subs not used: Darlow, Mazraoui, Mount, Yoro, Santos, Heaven, Lacey.
