Grading Man Utd players: Onana cannot carry MU's defense
The Old Trafford home team faced countless difficulties when facing Man City in round 27 of the Premier League.
Top 10 most memorable moments of the Manchester derby
Manchester Derby and things to know
Man Utd is underestimated when they have to play at Man City's field in this round. Indeed, the Red Devils played poorly when The Citizens completely controlled the match. However, a surprise happened in the 8th minute. Accordingly, Marcus Rashford had an amazing situation.
From Bruno Fernandes's mid-range release, the English striker fired a classy long-range shot into goalkeeper Ederson's net. However, it seems that that is all the Red Devils can do in this match.
Rashford personally missed two other situations that could lead to goals. After the break, The Citizens maintained strong pressure and scored two consecutive goals thanks to Phil Foden. Below are the scores of Man Utd players, scored by 90min.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana - 7/10 - In the first half, Man City launched 18 shots and controlled the ball 75%. With that match, Onana was the bright spot that helped Man Utd keep a clean sheet. He successfully caught the ball 6 times, blocked shots in the penalty area 3 times, and also launched a pass to open the score. Unfortunately, Man Utd's defense played poorly, Onana alone could not always save.
Right-back: Diogo Dalot - 7/10 - Played steadily against Jeremy Doku and tried to concentrate not to rush into the ball with the Belgian player.
Center-back: Raphael Varane - 6/10 - Erling Haaland is highly rated, but is almost missing in the face of the defense led by Varane.
Center back: Jonny Evans - 7/10 - This 36-year-old player performed very well when combining with Varane in blocking Haaland before being taken off.
Left-back: Victor Lindelof - 6/10 - After a rather dismal performance against Fulham last weekend, this was a better game for the Swede.
Central midfielder Kobbie Mainoo - 7/10 - Impressive debut in the Manchester derby, often appearing in hot spots.
Central midfielder: Casemiro - 6/10 - Rolled back the years with a composed performance. However, Casemiro was also helpless under the constant pressure of Man City.
Left wing: Bruno Fernandes - 6/10 - Besides the assist for Rashford to open the score, Fernandes has not really shined as expected.
Defender: Scott McTominay - 5/10 - Rarely able to make attacking moves forward. He mainly drops deep to participate in defense. In fact, McTominay also did not play well every time he started.
Right winger: Alejandro Garnacho - 5/10 - A lackluster performance from the Argentinian. In front of the opponent's experienced defense, Garnacho disappeared.

Striker: Marcus Rashford - 7/10 - A quality goal. However, in the rest of the match, Rashford was a bit unpolished. He should have had a double in the first half when he missed at least two other good opportunities.
Substitution:
Willy Kambwala (69' for Evans) - 6/10
Antony (74' for Rashford) - 5/10
Omari Forson (82' for Garnacho) - 6/10
Sofyan Amrabat (82' for Mainoo) - 4/10
It is necessary to talk about Amrabat. He entered the field and "gave" Haaland a goal. Before that, the Norwegian striker had a disappointing day.
