Man Utd staff permitted Man City to put their flags up in Old Trafford corridor yesterday

Manchester United suffered a 3-0 defeat to Man City at Old Trafford

Yesterday, Manchester United employees permitted Manchester City employees to fly their flags in the Old Trafford corridor.

Gary Neville said Manchester United were "obliterated" by Pep Guardiola's City in the Manchester derby, but the Sky Sports analyst maintained United should continue to work with the constantly troubled Erik Ten Hag.

After a penalty kick by Erling Haaland had split the scores at the half, City put on a show to win 3-0. Despite being biassed, the scoreline was unfavourable to United; City's final-quarter XG was 4.00.

The Old Trafford fans booed Rasmus Hojlund's replacement in the second half while Erik ten Hag's choices, such as switching Mason Mount for Sofyan Amrabat at halftime, came under intense scrutiny.

But Jamie Carragher took issue with United's dearth of a recognised method of play under Ten Hag. United has lost five of its first ten games and is now ranked ninth in the Premier League.

In the current campaign, they have only triumphed over Burnley, Sheffield United, Wolves, Brentford, and Nottingham Forest.

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag: "First half, we played very well. The game plan went on how we wanted. We defended very good. They almost didn't create - one big save from Andre in that start. We had two or three breaks, we had to benefit from it. We have to take more from it, but the penalty changed the game. I don't have a comment on it.

"The second goal, we made the mistake, we made the wrong decision to go up to the goalkeeper in the wrong moment. And we did not recover quickly. They got into the game and power in the midfield, they could switch the game and put players in the wrong positions. But it started with us. Then they outplay us.
