The Manchester Derby- The most awaited game this week was the Manchester derby, United vs City. Not only was there a huge rivalry between the clubs, but as well between the mangers. Pep Guardiola faced Jose Mourinho in a battle of tactics, as two of the best mangers in the world, previously rivals managing Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively. The Sky Blues were of to a great start, where De Bruyne managed to sneak in behind the defenders and the Belgian put a composed finish in the back of the net behind De Gea. The Belgian midfielder hit the post, but Kelchi Ihenacho was there to put the rebound in, and Manchester City was in heaven. But Zlatan made it 2-1, and the Red Devils were back in the game. In the second-half, was some amazing end-to-end football, with Zlatan getting in the way of Rashford's strike as the teenager's goal was called offside. Kevin De Bruyn hit the post again, and Man City were looking dangerous. In the end, City claimed a victory. Pep Guardiola completely outplayed Mourinho, as he got his tactics spot-on. Mourinho just couldn't get it right. For me, Kevin de Bruyne was man of the match, John Stones at the back was good. But in Man U, Pogba was nowhere to be found, Zlatan was unconvincing despite his goal, and Bravo looked atrocious in net, and almost let in two more goals. Raheem sterling was impressive, constantly causing problems for Luke Shaw. Man City are now topping the table, and who knows how many more Man United would have let in if Sergio Aguero was playing. But it was an outstanding game to watch, and Pogba is yet to prove his 100 million euro tag, as he was trash against Man City.
