Manchester United fans were left angry and frustrated as United lost 4-1 against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
United attempted to go toe-to-toe with City across the first 45 minutes at the Etihad, but Ralf Rangnick's side looked grossly inferior in the second half. It was an embarrassingly passive display, which City duly took advantage of to condemn United to misery.
Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez scored two goals each and that meant Jadon Sancho's brilliant equaliser in the first half meant nothing. United moved out of the Champions League places on Sunday and they are searching for answers to their deep-rooted problems once again. It has been an awful season for United and a campaign that couldn't end quick enough.

Fred and Wan-Bissaka
You'd be worried if United's players weren't arguing on the pitch during such an unforgivable performance and Fred was spotted lecturing Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the second half with United behind again, something which they didn't recover from.
Fred appeared frustrated and was clapping repeatedly at Wan-Bissaka, giving the impression he wanted more from the right-back.
Wan-Bissaka has forced his way back into United's starting line-ups in recent weeks but he had a game to forget on Sunday.
Ferguson watches on
Sir Alex Ferguson has watched United gradually sink towards the abyss since his retirement. The former legendary United boss has been reduced to watching some horror performances this term and Sunday's defeat was the latest in that unwanted catalogue.
