In the Manchester City derby, United lost 1-4 to Manchester City. Neville, Keane and Schmeichel, three Manchester United stars, have criticised United's performance, with the former even describing the Red Devils as "shame".
Not only did United lose 1-4, but they also had just five shots on goal, two on target and two to create scoring chances, while De Bruyne's three stats were five, four and five respectively. In the second half, United had just one shot on goal, the second time they had done so in nearly six seasons, the first time against Liverpool in 2017.
After the game, Neville criticised the Manchester United players, "The first thing to say is that Manchester City performed too well, especially in the second half. But at the end of the game, It was as if United were going to take a shower. Their performance in the last 25 minutes was a shame! ”
Roy Keane also said, "The worst thing for United is that they give up. ”
Schmeichel said: "This is a good reflection of this game, and the gap between the strength and the willingness to perform is obvious. City have been fantastic, however, they haven't put a lot of effort into it and I think it hurts Manchester United the most. ”
In an interview with Sky Sports, the City winger said, "I think I only touched the ball four times in half an hour. However, both of them were converted into goals.
Manchester City legendary defender Richards said, "I don't think the Manchester City players felt pressured, the second half was like a man against a boy. At half-time, I praised United's performance because they played well at the time. By the second half, they had different performances. ”
