Manchester United's humiliating loss to Manchester City highlights their decline under manager Erik ten Hag.
The sight of Manchester United 's players offering futile thanks to thousands of empty red seats was an image that defined the painful embarrassment they suffered at the hands of Manchester City .
Ten Hag and Harry Maguire were in conversation with Tierney when United's grim spectacle concluded, presumably about City's first-half penalty award after Rasmus Hojlund fouled Rodri, but if they were complaining those gripes rang deafeningly hollow after what Old Trafford witnessed. What followed was a chastening demonstration of just how superior City are to United. After those optimistic signs last term, which even included a Premier League win against City at Old Trafford, these are now worrying times for Ten Hag and Manchester United.
It manifested in loud jeering when young striker Hojlund was replaced by Alejandro Garnacho 17 minutes from time, the home crowd at least appreciating the Dane's tireless endeavour. United had run out of ideas long before the end, but it was actually difficult to detect what their idea was at the start.
United were laboured in midfield, and while defender Jonny Evans should not be singled out, it was noted the last time he started a home Manchester derby was October 2011 when City won 6-1 and he was sent off.
