After more than 30 months, a Manchester derby has been won by City in the Premier League again.
Not that it’s proved too painful for Pep Guardiola struggling to beat Manchester United. After all, he’s collected the Premier League trophy twice in that time and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won nothing with United.
City’s 2-0 victory over United on Saturday leaves Solskjaer’s position as United manager look even more precarious on the face of it — especially following a 5-0 humiliation to Liverpool in the previous game at Old Trafford two weeks ago.
But United has provided no indication that it is willing to discard Solskjaer after three years.
Perhaps it’s down to the crowd having yet to turn on Solskjaer, despite another game when United looked bereft of ideas and was completely outplayed by an archrival which had lost to Crystal Palace last weekend.
The misery began after seven minutes when Eric Bailly accidentally diverted João Cancelo’s cross into his own yet. Goalkeeper David de Gea, whose saves had limited the damage, was caught out at the near post in first-half stoppage time by Bernardo Silva squeezing a shot in from another of Cancelo’s deliveries from the left flank.
United was booed off at halftime but there was never any obvious dissent toward Solskjaer from fans who remember him fondly for scoring the goal that clinched the 1999 Champions League title.
The crowd was remarkably patient despite seeing only a single shot on goal from United when a first-time volley from Cristiano Ronaldo was pushed wide by Ederson in the 26th minute.
“The best way to silence Old Trafford is to have the ball with a lot of passes and attack the box in the right moments and we did that,” Guardiola, City’s manager, said after their first league win over United since April 2019. “We played a really good game.”
United, which had beaten Tottenham last Saturday, heads into the two-week international break still in fifth place but nine points behind Chelsea, which was surprisingly held 1-1 at home by Burnley. City in second place surged six points in front of United.
“It’s very disappointing and it feels like after last week we made a step or two forward,” Solskjaer said. “Results-wise it’s a big step backwards. But it’s probably for me a way of losing that we don’t like. When you lose a game against a good team, you want to see a better Man United team than that.”
