Visitors labour to goalless point in a dour game at Old Trafford
Manchester City drew 0-0 with Manchester United in a dour stalemate at Old Trafford.
City had plenty of the ball but little to show for it, with Omar Marmoush going closest when he crashed an effort straight at Andre Onana in the second half.
The results leaves Pep Guardiola's side fifth in the Premier League with seven matches to play.
GOAL rates City's players from Old Trafford…
AFPGoalkeeper & Defence
Ederson (6/10):
Had virtually nothing to do but dealt with anything that came his way perfectly well.
Matheus Nunes (6/10):
Did a decent job out of position, providing City with plenty of energy from right-back, but lacked the quality to make a real difference going forwards.
Ruben Dias (5/10):
Picked up a booking inside 60 minutes of the match and had to tread carefully from there but managed to escape any further scares.
Josko Gvardiol (6/10):
Looks accomplished in a central role and played a good part in a comfortable team display, from a defensive point of view.
Nico O'Reilly (6/10):
A midfielder by trade, O'Reilly looks confident at left-back and provides City with the legs they lack elsewhere. Rarely used his pace in the wide areas but still an accomplished performance.

Mateo Kovacic (5/10):
Kept possession well enough but was one of those guilty of playing the match at too slow a pace.
Ilkay Gundogan (5/10):
Another who did not catch the eye as City's slow midfield play and lack of progressive quality caused a stalemate.
Bernardo Silva (6/10):
Tried his best to influence the game despite lacking the dynamism he has showed over the years. Booked inside the first minute of the second half still does a good tactical job for the team, picking and choosing the opportunities to drift wide or tuck inside.

Phil Foden (4/10):
Subbed off before the hour mark having failed to make any kind of impact on the game. Lacks all of the confidence that saw him win Premier League player of the season a year ago, with his twinkle toes generally taking him down blind alleys rather than creating.
Kevin De Bruyne (4/10):
Not a memorable final Manchester derby appearance for De Bruyne, who could not find his usual quality to create as a false nine.
Omar Marmoush (6/10):
Was at least willing and able to try and make things happen, forcing Onana into a good save from a ferocious strike and looking to be dynamic. The game was too poor to give him a chance of really making anything happen from his inside left position, though.

Jeremy Doku (5/10):
The game seemed to be crying out for some pace and width but Doku struggled to make any impact.
Jack Grealish (5/10):
Also had minimal influence after getting another run out in a central position.
Rico Lewis (5/10):
Did fine after slotting in at left-back.
Pep Guardiola (4/10):
Fielded a team full of players who prefer the ball to feet and lack pace, resulting in a laboured performance. Is still showing lots of faith in his heroes from the last few years who have had disappointing campaigns.
