Share

Manchester City were unable to break down a stubborn Manchester United defence in a 0-0 draw on Saturday afternoon, with Riyad Mahrez in particular, producing a disappointing display against the Red Devil

United had a couple of half-chances, but the best opportunity fell to City after a superb move ended with Gabriel Jesus breaking towards the box, finding Kevin De Bruyne who immediately played Riyad Mahrez who just had David de Gea to beat, but his low shot was saved by the Spaniard and De Bruyne fired the loose ball over.

The 28-year-old was disappointing throughout the game on Saturday. Did not see enough of the ball against a disciplined United. He was substituted in the second-half by Pep Guardiola and replaced by Ferran Torres.

As per Manchester Evening News, the former Leicester City man picked up a 6.0 rating for his display. Mahrez had just 23 touches of the ball, which was less than goalkeeper Ederson, who had 36.
