Just before the end of the first half, Manchester United applied enough pressure to earn a penalty, which Bruno Fernandes successfully converted.
However, in the 55th minute, Ilkay Gundogan scored Manchester City’s second goal by converting a free kick from Kevin DeBruyne with another impressive volley. Unfortunately, Manchester United was unable to alter the outcome of the game, which ended with a 2-1 victory for Pep Guardiola’s team.
One player who significantly contributed to Manchester United’s loss in this match was David De Gea, particularly in the second goal scored by Ilkay Gundogan. Despite the volley being weak, De Gea failed to reach the ball due to a lack of focus during the game.
Another player who underperformed during the match was Jadon Sancho, a forward who squandered several of Manchester United’s scoring opportunities. It could have been beneficial to substitute him instead of Christian Eriksen.
