Manchester United completed a breathtaking late comeback to beat Manchester City 2-1 on Sunday. The Etihad Stadium didn't exactly witness a classic between two out-of-sorts teams, but it was Ruben Amorim's visitors that incredibly prevailed in the 195th Manchester derby.

Josko Gvardiol's first-half header from Kevin De Bruyne's deflected cross was the latest goal United have shipped from a set piece. But Amad won a late penalty that Bruno Fernandes converted before netting the winner himself in an unbelievable climax.

Andre Onana: 6

No major mistakes on this occasion after a rough week and couldn't have done anything about Gvardiol's opener.

Harry Maguire: 7

Has quickly earned Amorim's trust. Didn't put much of a foot wrong in a defensively sound United performance - barring the goal.

Matthijs de Ligt: 7

Completed more passes than any other player before making way for Leny Yoro in the 79th minute. Dominant in the air.

Lisandro Martinez: 8

So accurate with his long balls. One of them assisted the winner. Recovered well from his nightmare against Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Noussair Mazraoui: 8

Not the first time he's been one of United's better players this season. Won the most duels on the pitch (nine) before he was withdrawn late on.

Manuel Ugarte: 7

Kept things ticking in midfield. Quietly went about his business.

Bruno Fernandes: 7

Created a handful of chances. Should've equalised after Rasmus Hojlund sent him through on goal in the second half but didn't fail to level the score with his 88th-minute penalty. Cool as ice.

Diogo Dalot: 5

United's inferior wing-back. Rarely feels like he'll find his target with his crosses.

Amad: 10

Is he United's best footballer? I think he might be. An absolute handful all evening. Won the penalty and then snatched three points with an outstanding moment of composure at the death.

Mason Mount: 4

Amorim picked him over Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho but he suffered his latest injury as a United player after just 12 minutes. You have to feel for him.

Rasmus Hojlund: 6

Should've notched an assist with the Fernandes chance but was largely frustrated.

Substitutes

Kobbie Mainoo: 7

Wouldn't have expected to be called on so early. Partnered Ugarte well.

Antony: 6

Plenty of energy off the bench.

Joshua Zirkzee: 6

His hold-up play in the dying moments earned a roar from the away end.

Leny Yoro: 6

He would've enjoyed his first taste of the Manchester derby.

Victor Lindelof: N/A

Introduced at the death.
