Roy Keane, former Manchester United captain and currently a pundit on Sky Sports, pointed the finger at Bruno Fernandes, former Sporting player, and at Luke Shaw for their defensive behavior during the first goal of the match, which ended in a 3-0 victory for Manchester City at the Etihad.

"For years, goals have been scored behind Bruno Fernandes. And that’s what happened here. United had a numerical advantage and still conceded a goal, practically because of him," said Keane, holding the Portuguese international responsible for the opening goal scored by Phil Foden.

The former Irish midfielder also didn’t spare criticism for Luke Shaw, whom he considered passive in the same play: "Shaw simply gave up! It was a beautiful move, but he did nothing to stop it. He didn’t move well and then it looked like he just threw in the towel!

The 'red devils' thus prolong their crisis of results. Phil Foden opened the scoring and Erling Haaland scored twice, leaving Manchester United and Ruben Amorim under heavy pressure after yet another lackluster performance, which leaves the Old Trafford club in 14th place.
