A bit of argy-bargy, of course.”But I look at it, he’s obviously been blocked but Walker, of course it’s a foul and a free-kick and Hojlund’s not happy, that’s fine.”And he goes over, how can Walker… Walker must be embarrassed. He must be embarrassed to go down like that.”An experienced player, listen there is no contact. Look at this, I don’t know the guy and I’m embarrassed for him.

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.Wasn’t tested that much however.Lisandro Martinez – 7Looking 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 – 8Had 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′ – 7A decent enough performance. Looked more comfortable alongside Maguire than other centre-back partners.Diogo Dalot – 5Mistimed 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 – 8Missed 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 equaliseManuel Ugarte – 7Sat in front of the back four and negated much of what Phil Foden was trying to do for the home side.Noussair Mazraoui 78′ – 8The best of the summer buys. 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′ – 6Looked 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′ – 9The 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 Ederson 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′ – 6Most we saw of him was a head to head confrontation with Walker when the City player slumped to the ground and a little fall of 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.SubsKobbie Mainoo 13′ – 6Did a solid job as he came on in a deeper role than Mount and Fernandes moved forwardJoshua Zirkzee 78′ – 6Not 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′ – 6Came on to try and make a difference but is lacking the confidence which a lack of starts brings.Leny Yoro 78′ – 6Continues to ease himself back to full fitness after that summer injury.Victor Lindelof 90′ – 6No time to have any influence on the game.

GARY NEVILLE wants “moping” Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho to use being dropped as motivation to raise their standards.The Manchester United duo were axed from Ruben Amorim’s matchday squad for yesterday’s trip to the Etihad.Gary Neville and Micah Richards debated the situationCredit: X @SkySportsPLMarcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were dropped for yesterday’s matchCredit: APFollowing the Red Devils’ dramatic 2-1 triumph, Sky Sports pundits Neville, Roy Keane and Micah Richards debated Rashford and Garnacho’s situations.Neville, 49, said: “I don’t know about their long term future, but what is really clear is that [Amorim] mentioned engaging with team-mates, he’s mentioned standards.”He’s giving us clues, in fact, emphatic clues, about the last few days that they’re moping and not doing their bit around the training ground.”It’s standards in training and he’s thought ‘no, I’m not having it, I’m not accepting it’. Good on him.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”For far too long we’ve seen players mope around that pitch and still continue to get a game or on the bench. No.”It’s got to be non-negotiable. If you don’t give your all in your job, you’re gone, you’re out. That’s it.”Neville went on to add that he hopes the pair can use this as fuel to raise their levels and improve.He continued: “We’ve been sat in this studio for years as ex-Man United players saying ‘give your absolute all’ and players haven’t been running back.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSRoy Keane also had his sayCredit: X @SkySportsPLAmad Diallo fired home Man Utd’s late winnerCredit: Getty”We’ve seen Rashford and Garnacho stand on that left and right wing and not chase back when full-backs have gone past them and still stay on the pitch. No more.”I want Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho to come back stronger, take the message that they’ve been given by training at the training ground this morning on a Sunday with no-one else there.Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim says he has no disciplinary issues with Rashford and Garnacho “I want them to take this in the right spirit and become the very best players for Manchester United.”I don’t care who you are, whether you’re Andrei Kanchelskis or Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Nani, whoever you are as a wide player at Manchester United you’ve got to run this way [forward] as fast as you can and run that way [backwards] as fast as you can.”They have got the talent, they’ve got the ability, but if they don’t do that there is no place for you in the club, there is no place for you in the team.”Richards, meanwhile, attempted to defend Rashford.’THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD’After Neville compared the forward’s application to that of Amad Diallo, Richards, 36, said: “It’s different though, for Rashford.”He’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders, it’s pressure.”You know what it’s like. Coming into the team as a kid, you run around.”For me it just looks like Rashford’s got the world on his shoulders. It seems to me like there’s a bigger problem than just football.”You have to earn the right to win football matchesRoy KeaneExasperated, Neville responded: “Micah, I played with David Beckham, with Wayne Rooney, with Roy Keane…”The pressure that Marcus Rashford is under is nothing like the pressure that David Beckham and Roy Keane were under.”Richards then hit back: “But look at your squad. The names you’ve just reeled off. All serial winners. This Man United team are not all serial winners.”As Neville reached for his glass of water, Keane responded to Richards: “We weren’t winners at the start Micah, you have to earn the right to win football matches.”Rashford watched the match from home, and after the game posted a picture of his TV with the caption: “Yesssssssss! Love it lads.”‘IT’S A SIMPLE SELECTION’Explaining his selection decisions, Amorim said: “We try to evaluate everything training performance, game performances, engagement with team-mates, push their team-mates up.”Everything is on the line when we analyse and try to choose the players. It is my selection. Simple.“I don’t want to send a message it is simply an evaluation and they know it. The players are really, really smart.”Everybody understands my decision and I have to choose.
