Some of the young players truly showed their worth this weekend.
Luke Shaw played a full 90 minutes – his best yet as a Manchester United player.
Nineteen year old Paddy McNair really impressed after coming on for an injured Marcos Rojo, who was stretchered off with a dislocated shoulder.
The only young player who did not pull his weight was Adnan Januzaj.
He was in no way prepared for the threat of Manchester City and it showed. Luckily, he was subbed off before the half time whistle.
