I'm not believing that Manchester United is coming to be at the top of the league or to win the trophy.  What I know about manchester united is that they are strong , Ten Hag has done wonderful work to strengthen the team to be at this level of performance.  Right now manchester united is strong enough to challenge any team in EPL.  Manchester United is capable of maintaining the third position in the league.  I don't think the challenge of Manchester City will last for long, it is a problem they will resolve soon .

Ten Hag is doing an excellent job with Man United so far.

While watching them today it felt like watching my Ajax too when Erik was trainer at that time, same intensity, fast paced attacking football and pure relentless aggression.

3-0 defeat for Liverpool. Where is this team going? It is also not that they had an away game at Manchester City, then 3-0 could still be a normal result. Losing so much at Brighton gives serious reason to take measures. Klopp is a good coach, has built up a lot of credit but the chemistry doesn't seem to work anymore within this team. I think it's time for fresh new forces and some changes need to be made within this team. If Klopp is smart, he will hand in his resignation himself and start the adventure at another club. He has also been a coach at Liverpool for more than 7 years now. It is also possible that they have not been able to properly absorb the loss of Mane and that they have underestimated it.

It's funny that Liverpool are only 3 points ahead of Chelsea which completely fail the season and by changing the coach are close to changing the second (at least judging by the results, this is so). Probably Klopp's position is becoming very shaky.
As for United's victory, I wrote before the game that the bookmakers' quotes are crooked and you need to bet on United with a chance of 4.40. It was a profitable decision.

I also wouldn't say Manchester United will manage to overtake the top spot just because they beat Manchester City today. It's true, Manchester United are now better than ever in that they have won some of the match they should have won, but I don't think they are any better than Newcastle either.

In today's derby, Manchester City is not very good to be expected to win the game. In fact, they seem to have lost their best form in the last few matches, but it's also not as bad as they say. But this is not the end of the world and City can very likely continue to put pressure on Arsenal. I hope Guardiola will find a way to get City back in form in the next match.

It was a total show of quality by the Brighton team. When Graham Potter abandoned the team for greener pastures (that has turned out to be a nightmare) in Chelsea, I thought the club would suffer. But it seems that coach Roberto De Zerbi is doing a better job than the former coach. Or is it that Brighton is just lucky this season that regardless of the challenges they face, the team is still coming out strong? I don't know what happened to the Liverpool team today but I am sure that this match is an indication that the team has lost its quality. This match was not a lucky win for the Brighton team because they were better in every aspect of the match. This is the first time in years that I am seeing the almighty Liverpool humiliated by an average club.

It is also unfortunate that Leicester City lost their match today. This once-promising team have have suffered from poor financing, injuries, and a lack of players. And it seems that the owners of the club don't have much interest in the team. I think they should sell the team to a more wealthy investor that has a passion for the football business.

Right, that Erik ten Hag is indeed the right coach for Manchester United, because from the pre-season matches at least Erik ten Hag has shown his seriousness in building a team. The 2-1 win after beating Manchester City is strong evidence that Erik ten Hag has at least managed to restore Manchester United's performance to be even better.
But indeed, I am also very confident that Manchester United will not lose in this Manchester derby match. Because the two teams in my view at this moment have different trends, even though Manchester City is in second place in the Premier League standings, the reality is that Manchester City is performing poorly at this moment.

Manchester United had difficulty controlling the movement of Manchester City's players, the defensive play in the first and second half made it difficult for Manchester City to create opportunities, this can be seen from Manchester City's possession statistics, which were so dominant with a percentage of 70 % - 30%. Erik Ten Hak succeeded in instructing his players to dampen the movements of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, so that their game did not develop too much in playing the ball. Marcus Rasford has been the most prolific player in scoring goals and has so far managed to perform optimally in his best game performance.

This is the key to Manchester United's win tonight against Manchester City in my opinion. The victory in this derby match has sparked Manchester United's enthusiasm, so far they are on a good track and have recorded a long victory since the two eras of the previous coach, Erik Ten Hak managed to make big changes for Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, Everton, Leicester City, West Ham United and Leeds United lost their other matches. Liverpool have again recorded a bad record even though they managed to bring in new players like Cody Gakpo.

Currently Liverpool are in eighth place in the standings and have collected 28 points, Jurgen Klopp is in big trouble now.

After losing to Brentford 3-1, Liverpool's performance has been increasingly unclear in the last 3 matches after losing to Brentford Liverpool drew against Wolves and currently lost to Brighton 3-0.
and this result makes Liverpool even further away in fourth, the match against Brentfor Liverpool is really very bad and the comparison seems to be reversed.
and the result of Manchester United vs Manchester City was completely unexpected and I am very happy that Manchester United got full points that will continue to compete with Manchester City which is only one point away.

Can we already say that Manchester United are back after their incredible win today? yes it was a very good job done by Erik Ten Hag's team, they successfully beat their city rivals Manchester City which in their last few matches it was very difficult to beat Manchester City or even just get a draw. But in this match they were able to beat him with 2 goals created by Bruno Fernandez and Marcus Rashford. They did lose in control of the match, but Manchetser United played more effectively in taking advantage of the opportunities they got.

Manchester united climbing the 4th position is a sure deal for them if they continue playing with this momentum. Manchester United gave a good fight in the first after Manchester City took possession of the match.

I wasn't expecting the win though from Manchester United. I predicted a draw match from both teams. Lucky was damn on Manchester United after scoring an offside goal that the referee didn't blow.

As a result, a major defeat and, judging by the statistics, 100% natural: Shots - 16:6; Shots on target - 9:2; Corners - 7:1; Ball possession - 61% : 39%. Liverpool are further from the top 4 and not even because of the number of points, but the quality of the game.
All in all, a shocking result, perhaps even dwarfing United's victory in the derby.

 

to think that manchester united can reach the top of the premier league i think it's dreaming too high, i know they beat city, but look at city not doing well in these last few games, they had difficulties in winning games even against weak teams and in some cases city lost against teams they supposedly could easily beat, so just because manchester beat city doesn't mean they can top the table, i see potential in manchester united for them to finish in the top 4 , but I don't see manchester united occupying the first place and becoming champions

i know that many manchester united fans are already dreaming very high at the moment with the possibility of manchester united becoming champions, but i advise them to be more cautious and not create high expectations, because there are still many games and city still can recover and arsenal, newcastle, will not leave the top 4 places either, I think liverpool which I am a fan of will also chase the 4 places

The problem that encountered by so many team who has been dominating the ball possession is when they were having very big ball possession and they forgot to defend from any counter attack that may come anytime. This is happened with city once it was getting very big ball possessions and then it was greatly affecting the intention from city's defender to go up to help the attacking line to build attack but they forgot if they must prevent any counter attack that can come anytime.
it has proven that MU has more shots compared with city, that proves that counter attack is much more effective compared wth ball possession.

Manchester united win over Manchester city is a well deserved victory because it's not easy to beat a team like City.
This Victory has surprisingly put Man United comfortably in the premier league title race behind clubs like Arsenal and Man City.
And too this Victory shows that Ten Hag is right now doing a great job for the club looking at how bad the United team was and were they are coming from to be in the position they're in the premier league right now.

Once you will be facing another team and then you will have needed to face different things. Manchester city is not the same like anyother team. There's no guarantee if you can beat city and then you can beat anyother team in the EPL. If you were not lucky enough and you may lose against another team. United has been winning the derby of manchester right now. It seems like that ten hag is slowly but surely making MU go to the right track again. MU has so many great players but people were seeing haaland just like scariest player in EPL while there was also good player in the various clubs other than city. The win by MU proves that if city can be beaten as long as the team can be consistent. MU's defensive line is very good now.

The match was really a tough one in the weekend. From the beginning I know that Manchester United would win the match. They, the both teams were very good  but what actually affect Manchester City was the midfielders and the attackers, they were not having the opportunities to scored their chances. Manchester City controlled the ball more than it opponent. But Manchester United was having the confidence and the skills to on target the goal. While Manchester City was busy off targeting the goal post. Manchester City will do well in their next Matches.

Enjoy this win, I think Manchester United deserved those 3 points after struggling for more than 75 minutes. Manchester City dominated possession and created several good chances throughout the match, but unfortunately Manchester United's game transition made the Manchester City defense fail to maintain victory.

Bruno Fernandez' goal broke Manchester City's concentration, and it cost them another goal by Rashford less than 5 minutes after the first goal. I'm really sorry for the loss, but Manchester United were really effective in this match.

Nothing good today because Liverpool's performance is really bad their game is always under pressure by Brighton and and only one shot on goal so Liverpool have lost a lot up front even though there is Gakpo it doesn't give good I know it's still adaptation but to help win Liverpool find it difficult because Brighton is more aggressive and fast in their attacks.

Liverpool cannot be said to be stable, they are still on the verge of being difficult to predict, now the score has 3 goals for Brighton, so Liverpool's fate is now really not expected.

Great performance from Manchester United. And the difference with City after this game is also only 1 point. Perhaps United is still secretly the 3rd title candidate. If you can beat City, you can beat anyone. Still, United were far from looking likely to win as City were 0-1 up after 70 minutes. I had little hope for United at the time, but they have shown that they are in good shape. Would this be to the coach's credit? He is now working on an impressive rice. He also has several records now to his credit. Arsenal could be the big winner of this round if they win their match. Then the lead on City is increased by 3 points again.
