One Man Utd player regressed as the game went on while his opposite Manchester City number was named man of the match.
As the clock approached 5.30pm on Sunday, Erik ten Hag would have walked down the Old Trafford tunnel not only bedraggled but jealous.
For a long time, Scott McTominay had been played in a deeper role. This seems to have been an error. The Scot has had renewed form when allowed to drift further forward and his strike rate for club and country has seen a sharp uptick. Even against Manchester City on Sunday, he posed a threat in the first half.
Not only did he facilitate attacks he was the support act to Rodri when needed. Silva has the ability to play in multiple positions with great effect, possessing an ability no United midfielder can. Erling Haaland’s second-half goal started from a Ederson pass, one of 11 long balls he completed that match. Onana could only manage to get six right. Ten Hag will be envious of his cross-city rival, a man he worked under at Bayern Munich.
