Man Utd player ratings: Amad Diallo experiences greatest moment of his career but Diogo Dalot doesn’t do enough vs City

AMAD DIALLO enjoyed one of his best performances against Manchester City as he inspired victory for Manchester United.

The winger came to life to change the turn of the tie in the dying minutes to boost Ruben Amorim.

Amad, 22, won a penalty to hand Manchester United a road back into the match after Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header.

Bruno Fernandes converted the chance as he sent Ederson the wrong way.

Amad then completed the fairytale with a brilliant individual goal to heap misery on Pep Guardiola and Man City.

However, it was a game to forget for Diogo Dalot as the defender was at fault for City’s goal.

SunSport’s Neil Custis has given his rating for the Man United players…

Andre Onana – 6

He just does not fill you with confidence. He does not command his area, and as we found out midweek in Plzen, his distribution from the back is a major plus for the opposition. He wasn’t tested that much, however.

Lisandro Martinez – 7

Looking a calmer presence under Amorim than he did before when he seemed to want to live up to his nickname from his Ajax days of ‘The Butcher of Amsterdam’. Great through ball at the end to pick out Amad’s run for the winner.

Harry Maguire – 8

Had a great battle with Erling Haaland which the United man won. The right call to bring the former captain in for such a big game. Looks like he suits the position in the centre of that back three.

Matthijs de Ligt 78′ – 7

A decent enough performance. Looked more comfortable alongside Maguire than other centre-back partners.

Diogo Dalot – 5

Mistimed his jump to be beaten to the ball by Josko Gvardiol for the City opener. Did not create enough going forward from his wing-back role.

Bruno Fernandes – 8

Missed a big chance after being put through by Hojlund and clipping the ball wide.

But when the moment comes from the penalty spot, he is a cool head in the hottest of atmospheres sending Ederson the wrong way to equalise.

Manuel Ugarte – 7

Sat in front of the back four and negated much of what Phil Foden was trying to do for the home side.

Noussair Mazraoui 78′ – 8

The best of the summer buys. He was used as the right wing-back on this occasion and is able to adjust to whatever is asked of him. One of United’s best performers on the day.

Mason Mount 13′ – 6

Looked very close to tears when he had to come off after early in the game. He is just getting no luck whatsoever with injuries and has not had a decent run since joining the club.

Amad Diallo 90′ – 9

The greatest moment of his career so far with a memorable derby winner. A brilliant run first of all to meet Martinez pass, he then clipped the ball past Edersonn and while it was a scuffed finish he got it on target.

Had almost grabbed an equaliser with a flick header before that which was well saved by Ederson.

Then was alert to Nunes back pass to win the penalty that did lead to United drawing level.

Rasmus Hojlund 78′ – 6

Most we saw of him was a head-to-head confrontation with Walker when the City player slumped to the ground and fell a little on his own when he tried to win a pen. But then he provided a great through ball for Fernandes which should have brought the equaliser.

Subs

Kobbie Mainoo 13′ – 6

Did a solid job as he came on in a deeper role than Mount and Fernandes moved forward

Joshua Zrikzee 78′ – 6

Not the man who is going to come on and change a game, but he did well to hold onto possession in the closing seconds.

Antony 78′ – 6

Came on to try and make a difference but is lacking the confidence which a lack of starts brings.

Leny Yoro 78′ – 6

Continues to ease himself back to full fitness after that summer injury.

Victor Lindelof 90′ – 6

 No time to have any influence on the game.
