An own goal by Eric Bailly after a cross from João Cancelo put the defensively fragile and offensively harmless home team at Old Trafford behind after just seven minutes. Shortly before the break, Bernardo Silva increased after an inattention on the part of Luke Shaw for the guests, who were superior in all respects.
The substitutions of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford brought no improvement in the second half. Goalie David de Gea prevented an even higher derby defeat for the group opponent of the Young Boys in the Champions League.
With the third defeat in the last four Premier League games, Manchester United is increasingly losing touch with the top. Although Chelsea made a 1-1 draw against Burnley after four wins in a row at home due to a large number of missed chances and a late conceded goal, the gap to the leaders from London is already nine points. Manchester City are in second place six points ahead of their city rivals.
According to English media reports, Solskjaer has to tremble more than ever about his coaching job in Manchester. The Norwegian, who enjoyed a special credit as the club legend and scorer of the winning goal against Bayern Munich in the crazy stoppage time of the 1999 Champions League final, has long been criticized.
Meanwhile, Norwich won at Brentford for the first time (2-1) and still parted ways with German coach Daniel Farke, Newcastle United is the only team in the Premier League that is still without a win. Fabian Schär’s newly rich club played 1-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion and is still on a relegation zone. Schär has not been used since August.
