Those were the times Manchester United who ruled the city had long since left, but it seemed they were far from returning for a while Erling Haaland wear the t-shirt city. The Norwegian, devastating again, was the author of two goals in the derby and showed that he is the boss (0-2).
On paper the United I don’t need to be a rival for those Guardiola. By level but above all by dynamics. And no one was surprised. Predictions come true, just to get the ball rolling. Total party owner citywith a tenacious attack but quick circulation of the ball, Bernardo Silva shined from the start, vastly superior to other midfielders.
The city also has help. The score was spoiled by a penalty that Paul Tierney didn’t see at first but VAR sent him to review. This is a small grab Hojlund, which he needed to further irritate Old Trafford, about Rodri, but it was enough to change the referee’s mind. He planted it in place Haalandthat Onana was not forgiven by deception (26′).
Full of morale after breaking the first tie, Guardiola and the company was happy, with Grealish as the minutes ticked by with Bernardo Silva. Such is the superiority that the first dangerous shot of United It didn’t come until almost half-time, with a great handball from Ederson to McTominay, with the second in reply. Haalandfailed to fly from Onana to the far post.
I’ll get that play registered city, who only came out of the break to score a goal this time. Bernardo behind Grealish, passed from the Englishman and chopped from the baseline to the far post where Haalandfree to score, this time he showed that he also destroys his head (49′).
The job is done. There was no hope for United’s reaction, always trailing behind the ball and falling behind under pressure, Bruno Fernandes must have been desperate. He relied on some isolated play of talent and that almost helped him reduce the gap, but Rashford put it just shy of the post with the best Ten Hag’s team had. Nothing from Hojlund, who left Old Trafford booed again.
After that, the man will suffer. United, who saved water thanks to Onana. The Cameroonian goalkeeper stopped Haaland’s hat trick in a one-on-one but was unstoppable moments after the Norwegian’s generous gift of the third goal in Foden (80′), which he later tried as a Chilean. United were wounded in pride and the sheer frustration shown by Antony who played through to red with a pointless kick at Doku, which luckily barely stuck.
Manchester is sky blue and part Viking and it looks like it will take a miracle for that to change in the near future.
