JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) was defeated by a landslide when they faced Manchester City in the Premier League derby on Sunday, March 6. In the match that took place at the Etihad Stadium, the club nicknamed The Red Devils lost 1-4!

MU fell behind in the 5th minute after Kevin De Bruyne found the net David De Gea. The visitors equalized in the 22nd minute through Jadon Sancho's goal.

However, it was only six minutes later. De Bruyne again brought City ahead and closed the first half with the score 2-1 for the hosts.

In the second half, MU increasingly helpless. Riyad Mahrez scored two additional goals for City in the 68th and 90th minutes. The final score was 4-1.

Two Manchester United legends, Gary Neville and Roy Keane, were furious with this result. According to both, this is an unacceptable result.

"Manchester United's response when they went down 1-3 was embarrassing. Ninety-two per cent of possession for City? They gave up," Neville told Sky Sports as quoted by Reuters, as reported by Antara.

"They're just walking around the pitch. Nothing good enough. No complaints. City are amazing. But as a Manchester United fan, it's a shame. The score doesn't matter. The response at 3-1 down is the problem. They've thrown the towel."

"At the end of the game, Manchester United finished like useless people. They were embarrassing in the last 25 minutes," continued Neville again.

While Keane criticized the players more than the tactics of United manager Ralf Rangnick, including the decision to install midfielders Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba in attack.

"The manager will be criticized for his tactics but a player not running behind for Man United is totally unacceptable," said Keane.

"They've thrown the towel which is a shame. You need character and personality when you face him and after the third goal it was game over," added the former Manchester United midfielder.
