Manchester United won the Manchester derby against their city rivals in the most spectacular fashion.
They were one goal down but at the end of the game, two goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo completely turned the game around and made Pep Guardiola more miserable.
The struggling Manchester City manager has now only managed to win one game in the final eleven.
The crisis at Man City is much more severe than people think at the moment.
Rodri’s long-term injury cannot be the only reason for Man City’s poor form and against Man United it was clear how much City’s players need to improve in all areas.
Ruben Amorim made the bold call to drop Marcus Rashford from the squad for the big game at the Etihad Stadium.
It was a decision that raised eyebrows and started a conversation among fans about the brutal exclusion of the child Man United fan from such a big game.
However, he was not missed at all by his teammates, who achieved one of the best results in a long time.
Amorim has since revealed that Rashford and Garnacho were dropped not for disciplinary reasons.
Rashford has posted on his Instagram account after the derby win, congratulating his team-mates on their superb performance against City.
He wrote: “Yes! I love guys.”
Marcus Rashford’s future in trouble at Man United?
The win without Rashford should be a big cause for concern for the player. It was a game that proved that the player is replaceable and that the squad is good enough to perform well without him.
He may soon get a chance to prove himself as Man United prepare to face Tottenham in the EFL Cup this week.
It’s time for Rashford to finally step up and show if he wants to cement his place in the starting line-up with Amorim.
