5 talking points as Haaland destroys limp Man Utd as pressure grows on Ten Hag

Manchester United were outclassed and humiliated by Manchester City as Pep Guardiola ’s side ran out comfortable three-goal victors at Old Trafford.

Haaland downs United again Erling Haaland’s record in Manchester derbies has been hugely hit and miss. His debut against the Red Devils produced a scintillating hat-trick in a 6-3 mauling at the Etihad early last season. However, in the next two meetings, the Norwegian was largely anonymous – unable to find the net in the league loss at Old Trafford or in the FA Cup final.

United fan show dissent With United trailing by two goals with 17 minutes left on the clock, Alejandro Garnacho replaced Rasmus Hojlund – the home side’s one recognised central striker. Manager Erik ten Hag’s decision was greeted loudly by boos: the home faithful thought the Dane had to stay on the pitch.

United penalty offences Red Devils fans will have felt a deep sense of frustration with the penalty awarded against them. Rasmus Hojlund pulled back Rodri, who theatrically went to ground, and it was an infringement. However, multiple offences are committed each matchday without being awarded – and giving Haaland a free hit from 12 yards is a disproportionate punishment.

His early displays were error-ridden but has since produced multiple solid displays, and he was helpless for City’s goals in this game. Indeed, Onana pulled off several impressive saves in this one – including a remarkable stop to save Haaland’s header on the stroke of half-time.
