VAR, as usual, had an impact but many Blades players shone against some of the best players in the world. Here’s how we rated them
9. John Fleck - 10
One of the most complete midfield performances, on a stage like this and considering who he was up against. One second-half run put De Bruyne and Co. to shame. Didn’t deserve to be on losing side Photo: Simon Bellis
10. Callum Robinson - 5
Another handed a rare start as United looked to exploit the counter attack but didn’t have the impact he’d have liked. Replaced by McGoldrick with City 1-0 ahead Photo: Simon Bellis
11. Lys Mousset - 7
Thought he’d scored one goal, until VAR intervened, and could/should have had at least once more after putting wide a free-header and a one-on-one shot in the first half alone Photo: Simon Bellis
12. David McGoldrick - 7
Gave United’s attack another dimension with his clever touches but couldn’t quite help fashion a chance to get United back in the game Photo: Martin Rickett
