The departing spectators, Ronald’s puzzled looks, and a stiff Ferguson. Here’s a look at what the Manchester derby looked like off the pitch

The city of Manchester has had another great day, with one side celebrating and the other just shaking their heads in disbelief. However, for the second time this year it is the fans from the blue side of town who can celebrate a big win, this time enjoying as many as 6 goals. How did it look at the Etihad Stadium during the game?

The frustration was evident even on Casemiro, who famously moved to Manchester United for over 70 million euros to sit on the bench. His competition, Scott McTominay, however, was one of the brighter sides of the visiting team.

For his part, his colleague Christian Eriksen has shown himself in a very bad light, passing the ball to opponents instead of setting up his team’s attacks.

However, the situation around Cristiano Ronaldo is also interesting, as Erik ten Hag commented on him before the game. According to the Dutch coach, the winner of five Ballon d’Or will still prove himself to all critics.

However, the question is what, as instead of him he sent Anthony Martial on the field in the 59th minute along with Casemiro. The move paid off, however, as the French striker scored two goals.

However, this was not seen by many fans who of course could not watch their team’s performance and many of them left their seats. Asking the players to pay for tickets would have been the least of it.

Sir Alex Ferguson also had a very difficult and heartbreaking day, having already taken a beating from Manchester City as well. The worst was on 23 October 2011, when his players lost 1-6 at Old Trafford. However, he celebrated 25 wins and only 11 losses out of 45 Manchester derbies.

The reactions of the fans in England did not wait long, of course. The most frequent comments were of course about Harry Maguire, who was absent from the Manchester derby and only watched from the stands.

Now he may be very glad for that, as if he had replaced the injured Raphael Varane in the 40th minute, he would have undoubtedly become the target of further ridicule. But who knows, maybe the game would have turned out differently after his arrival…

The fans in the stadium then sang with great joy as they celebrated the 6 goals scored in the Manchester United net.
