United’s 3-0 victory over a lifeless Tottenham Hotspur last weekend was never going to be a proper turning point and the team predictably reverted back to being bang average against the Citizens.
An own-goal from Eric Bailly and a strike from Bernardo Silva just before the interval sealed a thoroughly deserved and comfortable victory for Pep Guardiola.
United’s last four home league games against Aston Villa, Everton, Liverpool and City have yielded a single point and nine goals conceded.
But wait, things get worse, much worse.
