Manchester United vs Man City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today

Follow all the reaction from Old Trafford after the Premier League champions took all three points in the derby.

Under-fire Manchester Unitedmanager Ole Gunnar Solskjaerfaces fresh scrutiny and pressure after Manchester Cityprovided their latest Old Trafford humbling.

A fortnight on from the embarrassing 5-0 home humiliation at the hands of rivals Liverpool, the Red Devils fell to another one-sided defeatas they returned to the scene of the crime for the 186th Manchester derby.

Pep Guardiola’s men cruised to a victory far more comfortable than the 2-0 scoreline suggested, but Eric Bailly’s own goal and a preventable Bernardo Silva effort was enough to ease past United.

Solskjaer had called the loss to Liverpool the darkest day of his near three-year reign and the manner of this loss to their neighbours will lead to renewed pressure during the international break.

FULL TIME: Man United 0-2 Man City

The end result was not as bad as Liverpool, but so much of the performance was arguably worse.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had actually set out to set up defensively and make it hard for Manchester City, but it was one of the easiest games Pep Guardiola could have hoped for this season. It was a 2-0 that could have been a 5-0 pretty much whenever the champions wanted. All of Crystal Palace, Brighton, Burnley and Southampton gave City a much tougher game.

That should give the Old Trafford hierarchy an easy decision now, but this is the modern Manchester United. Some may even make the argument that it was only 2-0 and wasn’t too bad. I think this is the best time and period to sack Ole.Thanks
