Stefan Ortega 5/10
CITY RATINGS. A hero at Spurs in the Premier League, but an awful error led to opening goal; saved well from Garnacho in second half. AP

Phil Foden 7/10
City's MVP this season hit fresh air with a good chance and struggled to consistently trouble United, but two flashes of quality did create chances. The second, for substitute Alvarez, really should have been converted. AP

Erling Haaland 6/10
It's no secret that he struggles if the creators around him don't fire and that was the case here. Rattled the bar with one effort laid on by Doku. Getty Images

Andre Onana 8/10
MAN UNITED RATINGS: Very good – apart from the goal. Brilliant save from Walker on 59 as City hammered the United goal. Then got down well with a strong right arm on 76 to stop a side unbeaten in 35 games who have scored 148 goals this season. Beaten by Doku on 87, a small blemish on a good performance. AP

Raphael Varane 8/10
Busy. He was always going to be, yet he was in the right place at the right time so many often. Elite defender. Reuters

Lisandro Martinez 8/10
Aggressive and he needed to be as United played a City side whose game plan worked to perfection in the first half. Gave it his all and controlled City’s forwards. PA

Diogo Dalot 8/10
A good game on the left, driving forward and keeping Bernardo Silva quiet. Shot wide on 65 when players were better positioned. Defended corners really well. AFP

Sofyan Amrabat 8/10
Surprise start, but he did to try and nullify the City threat in the middle. Tidy, put his foot in – a little heavily at one point. Finished the season really well. AP

Kobbie Mainoo 9/10
Stayed right in front of the two central defenders. Got the second goal. Got away with conceding a possible penalty. What a season. What a goal. PA

Scott McTominay 8/10
Disciplined and important for the team. Followed the ball well when Walker’s shot was pushed into danger. Strong and positionally faultless. AP

Alejandro Garnacho 8/10
Started on the right and shot straight at Ortega early on. Put his side ahead on 30 after being gifted a chance. Was offside on 37, involved in the second. Shot on target again on 67. A big test against Gvardiol. He passed it. PA

Bruno Fernandes 9/10
Fantastic in the first half, the best player on the pitch. Brilliant ball with the outside of the right foot for Mainoo. Drove an 80th-minute free kick straight at Ortega. AP

Marcus Rashford 7/10
Sent through in the early seconds of the match, but up against a fast foe in Walker. Super involvement in the second goal. Full of emotion at the end. AFP
