Manchester City vs Manchester United Player Ratings:

Manchester City

Ederson (6.5/10): The Brazilian shot-stopper had very little to do against Manchester United as the player did not test him for the most of the game. 

Joao Cancelo (6.8/10): Joao Cancelo brought his A game against Manchester United. He was involved in both attack and defense causing MUFC troubles. 

John Stones (6.7/10): As the name stands, Stones was rock solid at the heart of the defense. Stones made aerial clearances that helped City in building up. 

Aymeric Laporte (6.5/10): Though Laporte was unable to stop the goal that Sancho scored, he was instrumental again with his aerial and ground clearances. 

Kyle Walker (6.4/10): The right back was at fault for the absolute screamer that Jadon Sancho scored. However, he kept the team at bay with his calm demeanor. 

Kevin de Bruyne (9.9/10): An almost 10/10 game for the skipper of Manchester City. He was able to score two goals and assist the third one. 

Rodri (6.7/10): Rodri had a calm game at Etihad Stadium for Cityzens. He was instrumental in the middle of the park with his key passing abilities. 

Bernardo Silva (6.9/10): The Portuguese was the reason behind Manchester City’s first two goals. He cut open the Manchester United defense with ease. 

Jack Grealish (6.9/10): The record signing for Manchester City lived up to the hype on the derby day. He had a tackle to his name but it was his chance creations that City lived upon. 

Phil Foden (7.2/10): Though he was not upto the mark on the day, the technically gifted player was able to create the chances to cut open the Manchester United defense. 

Riyad Mahrez (8.8/10): The Algerian international wreaked havoc in the right flank against Manchester United. He scored an absolute screamer to make it 3-1. The player made it 4-1 in the ending moments of the game and take home all three points.

David de Gea (7/10): Despite conceding goals, David de Gea was top class for Manchester United against MCFC. He saved embarrassments several times.
