Manchester Derby

Manchester United still struggle to get a win over one of the top teams in the Premier League, after they lost 3-0 at home to Manchester City on Wednesday night. The blues  managed to score a goal by Edin Dzeko inside 43 seconds.  Manuel Pelligrini’s side were the much better organised team and started the game a lot faster than the red devils. Gary Neville told Sky Sports “Man United’s problems can’t be solved by signing new players in the summer,” and Paul Scholes also said “They need to back up David Moyes”

   At half-time Moyes took off Tom Cleverley for Shinji Kagawa but that didn’t change Man United’s side in the game because Edin Dzeko scored from a corner in the 56th minute. The game was heading for a 2-0 victory for city, but Yaya Toure shot from outside the box into the bottom left hand corner of De Gea’s net to make it  3-0 in the 90th minute.

   The game finished 3-0 to City, and Manchester United lost another game at home this season, which makes it 6 home defeats for Moyes’ side this season.
