"Manchester United were resoundingly beaten 3-0 by Manchester City as their dismal start to the season continued in chaotic fashion at the Etihad. The Norwegian striker, who should have had a hat-trick after hitting the post having rounded United keeper Altay Bayindir, latched onto Doku's deft pass to double City's lead after 53 minutes before racing clear and finishing confidently with just over 20 minutes to play as City coasted to victory."
"This was a morale-boosting victory for City, but yet another chastening afternoon for United, who continue to sink to new lows under Ruben Amorim. Sam Tabuteau was at the Etihad for Standard Sport to rate the Man United players. Amorim has kept his faith in Bayindir, but the Turkish goalkeeper remains a liability. He twice nearly gifted City possession inside the opening 10 minutes, and he looked shaky whenever the ball was at his feet, with City fans quick to goad him."
Manchester City dominated Manchester United to win 3-0 at the Etihad, with the Norwegian striker scoring twice and nearly completing a hat-trick. Doku provided a key pass for the second goal and City controlled much of the game, with Foden also scoring from a Doku cross. Altay Bayindir appeared uncomfortable, nearly gifting possession early and being caught out for City's second, while United's defense and midfield looked disjointed. Ruben Amorim persisted with several selections that underwhelmed, including Mazraoui and a midfield choice over Casemiro. Luke Shaw and other experienced players delivered sloppy performances, leaving United in deeper trouble.
