Manchester City outclassed Manchester United in the first Manchester derby of the English Premier League 2021/22 season. The Premier League defending champions claim a comfortable Premier League win at Old Trafford to mount more pressure on Ole Gunner Solskjaer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side concluded the first goal through Eric Bailly’s early own goal. The Ivorian defender diverted Joao Cancelo’s cross into his net. A bad miscalculation from Luke Shaw allowed Bernardo Silva to score the second just before the break.
United would have concided more goals but for series of saves from their goalkeeper David de Gea, City’s winning margin was only two goals. The result sees Pep Guardiola’s side move up to second in the table and cut the gap on leaders Chelsea to two points before Saturday’s other fixtures.

For Manchester United, it is their fourth defeat in six top-flight matches and a second consecutive loss at home to one of their greatest rivals which increases the pressure on boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The question now is that is this the end of the road Manchester United head coach Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer who was given three matches to redeem himself after a 5-0 humiliation by Liverpool. So far, Ole was able to win one for the three matches and draw the second before losing the third now. Will the club give the Norwegian another chance or is this end for him?
