The 188th Manchester derby did not go the way Manchester United - or Erik ten Hag - wanted it to. Despite scoring three goals away at Manchester City, the Reds were well-beaten by Pep Guardiola's side on Sunday afternoon as they fell to a 6-3 defeat in the Premier League clash.
City dominated proceedings and were worthy of their victory, with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both registering hat-tricks for the reigning champions. United scored three consolation goals in the second period as Antony bagged a stunning strike and Anthony Martial returned from injury to get a brace.
United came into the game having won last their four successive Premier League matches, which included victories over Liverpool and Arsenal. The Reds had been much-improved in recent weeks, but were dominated by Guardiola's men.

"The two late goals, I nearly said it in commentary, Sir Alex Ferguson... the times we were getting beat 3-0, 4-0, 5-0, he’d come in and say 'you got a goal' and it was 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, that’s important, never forget, it’s important, always finish the game with something that takes you into the next game," Neville said on The
