The draw puts them in 13th place in the league, just one point ahead of Tottenham.

Manchester United is also four points behind 12th-placed Brentford and seven points away from breaking into the top half of the table.

Their hopes for European competition now largely depend on their performance in the Europa League.

So, who played well in today`s match at Old Trafford?

And were there any players who had a bad game?

Here are SunSport’s Ken Lawrence’s player ratings for Man United:

ANDRE ONANA – 5

Despite ongoing questions about his form, Onana had a more composed game. He made a good save from a Casemiro header that was heading towards his own goal from a City corner.

Even though City`s attack was not at its strongest without Erling Haaland, his shot-stopping was solid and confident.

However, one save from Omar Marmoush seemed unnecessary and for show.

André Onana`s game statistics: 0 goals conceded, 14 accurate passes, 6 saves, 0 punches, 25 passes, and 1 high claim.  Pass direction illustrated on a soccer field graphic.

NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – 6

Mazraoui was reliable and adaptable as a right-sided defender. He made an excellent tackle to stop Phil Foden.

He spent most of the match marking the dangerous Omar Marmoush effectively.

His best qualities are as a wing-back due to his pace and awareness, but he didn`t have the chance to display these in this game.

Illustration of Noussair Mazraoui`s soccer stats: 60 touches, 1 shot, 46 passes, 4 tackles, 1 dribble, and 5 duels won.

HARRY MAGUIRE – 5

Maguire can appear slow, but he is good at tackling, demonstrated by a strong early tackle against Omar Marmoush.

His weakness is his passing from central defense, which can be unpredictable. He had a lot of possession in this match.

He was substituted by Victor Lindelof early in the second half, possibly due to a minor injury, with the Europa League game against Lyon in mind.

Illustration of Harry Maguire`s match statistics: 39 touches, 0 shots, 31 passes, 2 tackles, 0 dribbles, and 2 duels won.  A football pitch shows his touches.

LENY YORO – 6

Yoro is starting to show promise after his £52.2M summer move from Lille.

The 19-year-old French player is developing quickly in a more intense league compared to Ligue 1.

Ruben Amorim likely sees him as a key central defender in a back three formation with Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt in the future.

Illustration of Leny Yoro`s soccer stats: 54 touches, 44 passes, 0 shots, 0 tackles, 0 dribbles, 0 duels won.

DIOGO DALOT – 6

Dalot embraces the 3-4-3 system set by Ruben Amorim, which has been challenging for some players.

He faced a difficult opponent in Nico O’Reilly, especially at the start, but his greater experience became important.

Dalot took up aggressive positions when United had possession, and his crosses from the right wing caused problems for City`s defense.

CASEMIRO – 4

Although Casemiro has shown some improvement recently, he appeared slow at times in this match.

His passes from deep positions were inaccurate, often putting teammates under pressure. His partnership with Manuel Ugarte was lacking.

He is likely to leave Old Trafford, at least from the starting lineup, next season, despite having two years left on his £350,000 per week contract.

Illustration of Casemiro`s match statistics: 61 touches, 1 shot, 39 passes, 11 tackles, 0 dribbles, and 13 duels won.

MANUEL UGARTE – 4

Ugarte, a £42.1 million signing from Paris Saint-Germain under Erik ten Hag, is still adjusting to the team.

The Uruguayan often lacked the speed needed for the quick transitions demanded by the manager from central midfielders.

Even in a dull derby match, he struggled to make a significant impact.

Illustration of Manuel Ugarte`s soccer stats: 31 touches, 3 shots, 22 passes, 2 tackles, 0 dribbles, 3 duels won.  Includes a heatmap of his movements on the field.

PATRICK DORGU – 5

Dorgu, a £25 million signing from Lecce, hasn`t been consistently impressive and still has much to learn.

The wing-back provides physical presence on the left side, but needs to improve his composure when shooting opportunities arise.

One shot in the first half was particularly poor. Regardless of his age or experience, he needs to improve his performance.
