Manchester United completed a breathtaking late comeback to beat Manchester City 2-1 on Sunday. The Etihad Stadium didn’t exactly witness a classic between two out-of-sorts teams, but it was Ruben Amorim’s visitors that incredibly prevailed in the 195th Manchester derby.
Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header from Kevin de Bruyne’s deflected cross was the last purpose United scored from a loose kick. But Amad earned a beaten penalty that Bruno Fernandes changed before scoring the winner himself in a climax.
Express Sport values the triumphant side of Rubén Amorim.
André Onana: 6
No major mistakes on this occasion after a rough week and couldn’t have done anything about Gvardiol’s opener.
Harry Maguire: 7
He quickly gained Amorim’s trust. I didn’t put much foot into a united defensive function: goalkeeping.
Matthijs de Ligt: 7
He completed more passes than any other player before giving them to Leny Yoro in the 79th minute. Dominant in the air.
Lisandro Martínez: 8
Very accurate with his long balls. One of them helped the winner. Well recovered from his nightmare against Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Noussair Mazraoui: 8
This is the first time he has been one of United’s most productive players this season. He won the maximum number of duels in the box (nine) before being withdrawn late.
Manuel Ugarte: 7
Things continued to swirl in the center of the field. He went about his business in silence.
Bruno Fernandes: 7
Created a handful of chances. Should’ve equalised after Rasmus Hojlund sent him through on goal in the second half but didn’t fail to level the score with his 88th-minute penalty. Cool as ice.
Diogo Dalot: 5
United back winger. He rarely gives the impression that he will reach his goal with his crosses.

Amad: 10
Is he United’s best footballer? I think he might be. An absolute handful all evening. Won the penalty and then snatched three points with an outstanding moment of composure at the death.
Mason Mount: 4
Amorim picked him over Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, but suffered his new injury as a united player after 12 minutes. You have to feel for him.
Rasmus Hojlund: 6
Should’ve notched an assist with the Fernandes chance but was largely frustrated.
Kobbie Mainoo: 7
I expected them to call me so early. Well related to Ugarte.
Antony: 6
A lot of power from the bench.
Joshua Zirkzee: 6
Their hold-up play in the final moments sparked a roar from the outside.
Leny Yoro: 6
He would’ve enjoyed his first taste of the Manchester derby.
Victor Lindelof: N/A
Introduced to death.
