‘Ten Hag doesn’t believe in Mount’
A user was irked about the absence of Mason Mount in the starting line up. He wrote, “Mason Mount isn’t the kind of signing that excited the Man United faithful and make them optimistic about a potential title charge. Erik Ten Hag didn’t even believe in him. He left Man United No.7 out of a magnitude game like #ManchesterDerby.”
Another United fan appreciated Pep Guardiola’s team, admitting their style of football is ‘unmatched’ in today’s football. “Credits where it’s worth. It’s very difficult to hate Manchester City despite being a Manchester United fan. Their game is unmatched,” he said.
‘Manchester is blue. No question.’
Coming to City fans, they have been ever-present on social media, posting stories in an effort to cherish the victory. One user wrote, “Two lifelong Man City fans doing this at Old Trafford. Manchester is blue. No question.”
Another Man City fan lauded Bernardo Silva, who had yet another stellar game in the middle of the park.
Another social media user remarked on the famous rivalry that has now turned one-sided. “I’ll be real, I’ve never seen a direct rivalry this dominant amongst big clubs in my life, usually you win and lose against each other but Man City have dominated Man Utd for 10 years straight,” he wrote on X.
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana had a good game. He made a number of saves but couldn’t keep the goals out. Onana will draw a lot of confidence from the game and his performance.
