At times you wondered, what was the point of this game of football? Did it ever stand a chance? Alas, the Manchester derby, transformed in the Solskjær era into an extended exercise in how to lose slowly. City were excellent. But they were also barely stretched in any part of the pitch, reeling off 15 shots at goal, dominating every metric, and enjoying surely the easiest Manchester City victory in the modern history of this fixture. - Barney Ronay 1 Like |

Once again Ole Gunnar Solskjær was bullied and joshed and ragged by the away section. Once again United produced their secondary formation, the parking of the executive bus, with seven defensive players from the start – but with no fibre, no substance, nothing to sustain this team beyond the gold leaf tomahawk steak up front. - Barney Ronay |

Sancho could see it. His manager? Well, he was standing 30 yards away, motionless in skinny black suit and club anorak, staring out with that familiar look of bafflement, a man feeling the day slide away from him once again, still there at the wheel, still crashing in the same car. It would be flattering to describe this as a traumatic experience for Manchester United. This? This was nothing. - Barney Ronay 5 Likes |

Sancho raised arms and began to shout a complaint. He reined himself in. The forward is 20 years old and yet to carry out a single significant act in a United shirt. He has though, played at the Dortmund school of science. He trained with Pep Guardiola. He has a basic modern footballer’s understanding of positions, the stuff you learn from Fifa 21 or screenshots on Twitter from a Papua New Guinean blogger. - Barney Ronay 3 Likes |

With 56 minutes gone, as Manchester City’s players pinged and tickled the ball around, 2-0 up and basically doing a yoga workout, a team conga in the Manchester United half, Jadon Sancho went to press Kyle Walker, looked behind and saw Luke Shaw 40 yards away watching with an expression of vague interest. - Barney Ronay 1 Like |

Guardiola's team had 68% of possession over 90 minutes. United managed just one shot on target; in fact, they ended up testing de Gea more than Ederson, with Victor Lindelof almost joining Bailly in the own goals with a miskick that was saved by de Gea. It was a mess, one that grew when Solskjaer threw on substitute Jadon Sancho at half-time and deployed the right-winger out of position on the left, but that is United under Solskjaer. No discernible plan, no sense of direction, and when it comes up against a top team and top coach, it all falls apart. The owners and Woodward may already realise this, but there is no sign yet of a change being made. The drift will continue until the top four begins to disappear over the horizon, but by then, it will be too late and another season will pass by with United treading water. 6 Likes |

Incredibly, 21% of United's home defeats in the Premier League era have come under Solskjaer's management. And they haven't kept a clean sheet at home in 14 games in all competitions -- the second-worst home run in the club's history. Those statistics are damning of Solskjaer's credentials, but the United hierarchy continue to suggest that he is the best man for the job. With no trophies, dismal form at home and their title hopes gone for another season, it's difficult to know how the Glazers can justify their patience with the manager. ESPN reported after the Liverpool defeat that several members of Solskjaer's squad are unconvinced by the manager's tactical ability, and results since have done little to suggest that the Norwegian has won over the skeptics. |

Solskjaer had not delivered a trophy for United or come close to challenging for the Premier League title when he signed his contract, yet it was enough for Woodward and the owners. But what progress has Solskjaer made, and are they really any closer to challenging for success? Results this season suggest not, but it's a well-established pattern. - ESPN 5 Likes |

If beating Spurs but losing to Liverpool and City is good enough for the Glazers and Woodward, that gives you an indication of where the bar is now set at Old Trafford. Yet the reality is that the past two years have been no different, and the club's decision to hand Solskjaer a new three-year contract in July was borne of the diminished standards that have now taken root. - ESPN 3 Likes |

Solskjaer is a decent man, someone who earned the affection of United supporters during his playing days at the club, and it's becoming painful to watch him suffer the ignominy of opposition fans taunting him with chants of "Five more years" and "Ole, give us a wave!" But unless the Glazer family, United's owners, and executive vice chairman Ed Woodward turn ruthless during the forthcoming international break by calling time on Solskjaer's 35-month reign as manager, the 48-year-old will limp on and experience more days like this, when his players fail to deliver against top-class opponents and his tactical shortcomings are exposed by elite coaches such as Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. - ESPN |

Manchester United now lost 8 games at OT in all comps in 2021, most in calendar year since losing eight in 1989. Also without a clean sheet in last 14 home games in all comps: only had one pooer run in entire history without home clean sheet, a 21-game run between April 1958 & March 1959. - James Ducker 1 Like |
