    Boos from the home fans.

    Erik ten Hag takes off Rasmus Hojlund and Victor Lindelof and send on Sergio Reguilon and Alejandro Garnacho.

    When you're 2-0 down with 15 minutes to go and take off your £72m striker, you probably have to expect a few raised eyebrows.

    As a City fan of over 60 yrs, this United team is probably the worst I have seen. It's a shame, but to see a them this poor... But then City are playing very well, anyone would think they were the home team.

    Fifteen minutes to go. United need something special.

    Instead, they nearly gift City a third as Harry Maguire allows Bernardo Silva to nip in at the byline before Andre Onana spills the ball. Phil Foden can't take advantage.

    Erik ten Hag insisted on Friday that Manchester United have made progress under him.

    On days like this, it is not clear to see what development there has been since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired nearly two years ago.

    Just like Solskjaer - and Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal before him - United improved in one season, then in the following one, instead of pushing on to a position where they could challenge, they have fallen back again.

    All the time, millions has been spent on new players.

    What would United have given for Harry Kane and Declan Rice today?

    Andre Onana prevents Erling Haaland netting another hat-trick against United!

    Jack Grealish has space in front of him and carries the ball before slotting Haaland in behind the United defence. Out comes Onana to save the striker's chipped finish with his face.

    We have not seen a lot of Marcus Rashford today and that was his chance to get United back in the game. It is a great ball and a great run, perfectly timed. He does everything right and he just pulls it wide. Great opportunity.

    United just don't have an identity any more. What is a United style of play these days? There isn't one. They should have done everything they could to get Kane. Recruitment is key these days and they fail every window.

    Big chance for Manchester United!

    Christian Eriksen picks him out behind the City defence with a fine pass. He chests the ball down, which allows Kyle Walker to get back and send him a bit wider, but the chance is still golden.

    He swivels and sends the ball past the far post.

    Rodri, keen to make amends, wins a header from the first corner to prompt a second.

    This time, John Stones authoritatively rises to head clear.

    Rodri's rare mistake gives United the chance to charge forward. Scott McTominay can't take immediate advantage but they keep the attack alive to win a corner.

    They are just too good City. Every time Man United think they have got them, they just move the ball away.

    They are all very comfortable on the ball. There's no player where you think 'pressure him, he's not comfortable'. They all are

    This is a better spell from United.

    Diogo Dalot is found but his low cross lacks precision and City can intercept and clear.

    Another United ball into the box, this time from Bruno Fernandes. Kyle Walker mops up, by winning two one header and then a second to ensure England team-mate Marcus Rashford doesn't get a sniff.

    Christian Eriksen whips in a cross from deep but John Stones heads away.

    City continue to pick gaps to exploit.

    Kyle Walker charges down the right, sends the ball inside and Julian Alvarez curls a shot wide.

    Leaving Haaland completely unmarked and in acres of space at the back post is a questionable tactic and hasn’t paid off today.

    Every City player when they get the ball they want it. You don't see that in Manchester United.

    They are lacking confidence, lacking ideas and they know they are second best.

    If you look in the transfer market City bring in two or three quality players. Man United, apart from Hojlund who have they brought in? Amrabat is not quick enough for this league, [Antony] has not done it.

    City are tormenting United.

    Even when the home side do get the ball under control, they can't keep it long as City swarm them and force sloppy touches and misplaced passes.

    I guarantee Man Utd could have got Ollie Watkins for less than £72 million but he's just not fashionable enough. Mental.

    They're queueing up!

    Erling Haaland has a touch in the box, so does Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez. The ball is eventually fed to Jack Grealish, who fires a low shot across goal and just past the far post.

    United not getting a kick. They are getting a kicking, though.
