Man Utd travelling on road to nowhere while Man City are out of this world
They share the same town. But Manchester City and United might as well be inhabiting different planets.
Because if the latest derby between the two confirmed one thing, it’s that City continue to be out of this world, while United are travelling full speed on the road to nowhere. It feels like the superlatives have run out when it comes to describing how good Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions are.
City toyed with and then destroyed United in the second half at Old Trafford, where home supporters flooded out with ten minutes remaining. Not to beat the traffic, but to spare themselves more visual pain.
United are a side thrown together, one made up of expensive misfits lacking hunger, desire, passion and the required structure and work rate. But when Bruno Fernandes is the chosen captain, what do people expect?
Do you think Ten Hag will see out the season as Manchester United boss? Tell us in the comments section belowBut when it comes to summing up United, it’s also difficult to find the words, albeit for very different reasons. City remain a supremely coached team full of world class stars who know their exact roles in it.To lament United as dysfunctional would be too kind. And what planet is Erik ten Hag on when he emerges from the wreckage of a pummelling to claim United were “good” at times? I must have missed that, Erik. United were outclassed from start to finish.
Ten Hag’s failures resembled the ‘Dog & Duck’ in the second half, as City dished out a schooling to embarrass their neighbours in their own home. And remind them who rules English football – let alone Manchester.
BBC pundit Danny Murphy was spot on when he said: “They’re all over the place, Manchester United.
I don’t think there’s enough repercussions for the players who don’t do the work.
Too many United players get away with defending when they want. It’s really basic stuff that they’re not doing.”
