What a disappointing season it has been for Manchester United. The reigning champions of England suffered another setback on Tuesday as they were defeated by their rival, Manchester City, with a scoreline of 0-3. Playing at Old Trafford, the Red Devils failed to make an impact, and their hopes for securing a European place are dwindling.
The match started with a bang as Edin Dzeko opened the scoring just 43 seconds into the game. Despite City’s dominance, the score remained 1-0 as both teams headed into halftime. In the second half, United struggled to find their rhythm and conceded another goal, this time from a corner taken by Dzeko. Towards the end of the match, Yaya Touré added insult to injury by scoring City’s third goal, his 17th of the season.
With this victory, Manchester City closed the gap to three points behind Chelsea in the Premier League standings, with two games in hand. Meanwhile, Manchester United finds themselves in 7th place, facing an uphill battle to salvage their season.
