Although this was an imperfect performance from both teams, United’s imperfections were more encouraging than City’s. United had conceded ten goals in their last two Manchester derbies, but they seldom looked like adding to that tally on this occasion, during which they had little difficulty in taming City’s options in attacking positions for much of the match. City continued to look as though too many of their players are not operating to their the fullest of their abilities.3.
This rendered much of Manchester City’s attacking play impotent for pretty much the entirety of the first half. Haaland was invisible until the midway point in the half, when he had a shot charged down by Casemiro. De Bruyne, meanwhile, has found a way of playing with the facial expression that he carried throughout Belgium’s dismal World Cup campaign and Phil Foden was reportedly also on the pitch.
Ten Hag revealed in his pre-match press conference that there were concerns over Martial, but these seemed to dissipate before kick-off. “He’s fit, so he plays,” said the manager. Only he didn’t. Yes, United played much of the first half without the ball, but in and out of possession, there appeared zero intent from Martial to win the ball or hurt City with it. If it were anyone else, it could be attributed to a knock or a niggle.
In other words, their actions were determined by Rashford’s movement and this was considered insufficient to pull play back, but it’s difficult to see how this could have been the case, considering that Rashford ran And while Manchester United might have had fortune smiling on them for their equalising goal in this match, well, drawing all the way back it feels as though they did deserve the points from this game regardless, if we’re talking about it as a whole.
