#3 Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish had another day to forget at the office. The Englishman, who is currently the most expensive player in the Premier League failed to make any impact in the Manchester derby.

Despite City winning 4-1, Grealish failed to get on the scoresheet at the Etihad.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was of the opinion that stats are overrated, and he may be right. Grealish's return of two goals and two assists in 17 league appearances, however, is too poor a stat for fans to ignore.


#2 Bruno Fernandes

In the absence of the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes was expected to be the central figure for United in the derby. However, he disappointed the Red Devils fans.

Fernandes has often been compared to Kevin De Bruyne since his arrival at Manchester United, but they were at different levels in the Manchester derby. While Fernandes had a game to forget for the Red Devils, De Bruyne scored two goals and made an assist for his side.

Bruno Fernandes had a bad day in the office as his decision-making was off point throughout. He failed to impose himself on the game as Manchester United delivered a flat performance.


#1 Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire has been in the limelight for all the wrong reasons this season. The Manchester United captain has struggled all season and his poor defending was highlighted once again in the Manchester derby.

The 29-year-old failed to lead his side from the front as they showed no fight and desire for large periods in their defeat to the "noisy neighbours".

The Englishman was at fault for Manchester City's second goal after he allowed the ball to pass between his legs despite being in a position to clear the ball.
