Strong in the air, but he does not seem to do well with physical battles to win the header.

Decent tackler, but not outstanding, he tries to win the ball by nicking it off the player or intercepting it, rather than a tackle as such.

Very good on the ball, better than he has shown so far in his Man Utd career.

It is not so much that he is weak, he is a strong lad, but he does not seem to relish the physical battle.

Good pace, enough to ensure he is not left floundering in a forward's wake, though not enough for it to be noticeable how quick he is.

Strong in the air, though not as strong as he once was, nowadays his legs are clearly not there and his leap is not the same as it used to be.

Used to be an excellent tackler but his timing is a bit off these days. The mind sees the chance to put a foot in but the body is slower to react.

One thing he still has is his ability on the ball and a good range of passing to allow City to build from the back.

Still strong, though overly reliant on his physicality.

Quick for a centre back but no longer quite as quick as he was. Injuries and age have really taken a toll on him.
