Player Ratings

Iheanacho 6
The striker missed an early headed chance and looked off colour.

Rashford 6
No goals but stretched City’s defence with his pace.

dm

Kelechi Iheanacho - 5
Proved to be City's hero at the weekend by popping up with the equaliser against Southampton but was ineffective against United. Missed a glorious chance to break the deadlock in the early stages, fluffing his lines when he should have at least tested De Gea.

Marcus Rashford - 7
One of United's best players in this EFL Cup victory, causing Maffeo all sorts of problems down the left wing. Whipped in a lovely ball to Ibrahimovic in the second half; with the Swede somehow failing to get on the end of it.

MEN

Iheanacho
Should have scored from his early diving header, and again when clean through in the first half, but he was anther who did not produce enough in the second half. 5

Rashford
United's most dangerous player for the 80 minutes he was on the pitch. Was allowed to hug the touchline and run at Pablo Maffeo and was unlucky not to score. 8

[Chimex101]

even Suarez or Messi would have looked off color playing for Man city today, the team as a whole look deflated today.

Guardiola explains why Kelechi did not perform upto his full potential


” I think the yellow card shown to Iheanacho
played a part in slowing him down as the game
progresses, it’s only normal as he was wary of
picking up a second booking” He said in his post
match conference.

” He did very well considering the situation. It’s
unfortunate we have to lose this way. All the
same we have to move on and focus on our next
game”.

Hmmm na Mikel dean that as ref?
Rashford so far this season is Manu best player

[Bigpokey24]

Rashford's pace is scary

[proclaimjesus02]

Anyone still thinks its Nacho?

[tfco]

Nacho would have scored 3 today.

[txj]

Nacho would have scored 3 today.

Maybe, but couldn't have contributed half what the young Englishman did in terms of overall play. That is why he's still a sub at City...

Sarcasm from tfco.

It's a shame. But he is satisfied with his status in the club.

this stuff baffles me when you guys complain about Kele

he was promoted from the youth team.
he is now a sub, albeit rarely used.

you guys are expecting a bit much from him no? start every game, play 90 mins?

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Mek we hia word Joor. What has Rasford done all yr?

[Tbite]

He was in his element today, you do not judge a player when he is in the zone. You average out his performances.

Perhaps so but their ceiling and floor are just as relevant.

His ability is too good to have such a low play rate! Players less than half as good as him get 3 or 4 times more play rate.

His talent is being wasted. He needs a loan as soon as the window opens or a permanent move. If he stays, he will be extremely naive.

[Bigpokey24]

Who has more goals /assists in less minutes? Keyword number "nine"

[Cristao II]

Guardiola is killing Nacho. Hope Kele gets a move to Spurs.

Rashford was moved from his favored position to accommodate Zlatan, he had to adapt and learn a new aspect to his game playing from the flanks, it has certainly taken his killer instinct but yesterday he proved without Zlatan, he can flourish, the boy ran Chelsea ragged, I think mourinho might have just stumbled into the future of man united set up, imagine Griezman, Rashford and martial , pace to burn, mourinho will certainly get it right at united, our defense is solid, that's why we have not lost in 21 games, that is no fluke, it's our inability to finish up front and too many draws that has sees us in 5th place

our future is looking bright

I hope he keeps Martial though

Rooney can go. Griezmann will be the title clincher

We need a CD backup for Rojo/Bailly...Smalling ain't it
