In a tight and tense afternoon of football, Manchester United and Manchester City played out a 0-0 draw.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The result was a club record sixth consecutive clean sheet for City but will represent a missed chance for them pick up a big win against a downtrodden United. For The Red Devils, this was a quality draw when their morale was down.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the players rated at Old Trafford:<\/p>\n

Home Side<\/strong><\/h2>\n

David de Gea – 7 – <\/strong>Didn’t have to do much, but was generally solid. One big stop from Mahrez.<\/p>\n

Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 7 – <\/strong>Struggled a bit defensively first-half but stepped up second period to shut down any attacks down his flank. A game-high 4 tackles and 3 clearances.<\/p>\n

Victor Lindelof – 8 – <\/strong>Very impressive on the ball with his long-passes, attacked set-pieces nicely with some very tasty flick-ons, and defended well besides that. This is the level United need from him all the time.<\/p>\n

Harry Maguire – 8 – <\/strong>Defended well for the most part. A couple of risky tackles but generally dominated<\/p>\n

Luke Shaw – 7 – <\/strong>An impressive showing albeit he was never seriously tested.<\/p>\n

Scott McTominay – 8 – <\/strong>Absolutely relentless in applying defensive pressure. Never really that great with the ball albeit he did help United pass their way through City on a couple of occasions with true precision. Won possession back a team-high 8 times.<\/p>\n

Fred – 6 – <\/strong>Picked up an early knock and although he didn’t go off it felt like he did as his influence waned.<\/p>\n

Man Utd are the only team in the Premier League this season yet to score a goal at home from their strikers.<\/p>\n
