Barely seven minutes had been played in the Manchester derby before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United side went behind. Eric Bailly, recalled to the home side so that the Norwegian could play five at the back, wildly swung at a Joao Cancelo cross and only succeeded in diverting it into his own net.
It's a good job Manchester City have already near-guaranteed their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, otherwise, they might be in a touch of bother. That's because Pep Guardiola is down to about 14 available first-team players for their last-16 second-leg clash with vs Sporting on Wednesday. Thankfully, City won the opening match of the tie 5-0 and so it would take a spectacular meltdown for them not to advance.
