Manchester City.The Red Devils were humiliatingly beaten 4-1 by their local rivals on Sunday evening, with Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne both bagging two each whilst summer signing Jadon Sancho was on target for United. Question marks are, understandably, being raised of interim boss Ralf Rangnick now and stories about unrest amongst the squad behind the scenes is certainly a cause for concern amongst the higher powers at United.

Pep Guardiola has faced Manchester United on two occasions in the Premier League this season and each time, he's provided a tactical masterclass. When the two sides met in November, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the charge of the Reds and to ensure his team remained defensively resolute, he opted for a back three system.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a notable omission from Manchester United's squad as the Red Devils were embarrassed by Manchester City on Sunday.The 36-year-old missed the clash due to a hip-flexor injury, and he was nowhere to be seen at the Etihad Stadium.This move reportedly left United players 'surprised' given his aura in the dressing room, and they believed his presence would have helped.Ronaldo, instead, had jetted off back to his native Portugal to recover from his injury.And, according to The Sun, Ronaldo had hoped the warm weather of Portugal would help him recover from his ongoing injury woes.United sorely missed their Portuguese superstar as Pep Guardiola's side ran riot on Sunday afternoon.Jadon Sancho's equaliser only poked the bear as Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez both struck twice to emphatically hammer the Red Devils out of the top four.

Jack Grealish has been Manchester City’s unseen hero this season, says Kevin De Bruyne.

Manchester United to hand Roy Keane a special role after he blasted their "shameful" derby day defeat to Manchester City.United were thumped 4-1 by their bitter rivals on Sunday, with Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez both bagging a brace. Jadon Sancho netted for United.And after the match, the United squad were accused of throwing in the towel by Keane, who has achieved legendary status at Old Trafford.His scathing post-match assessment has since gone viral.And O'Hara has suggested that United could do worse than get Keane involved to try and instil some fight in the current United squad until a new permanent manager is appointed in the summer.“Why don’t they get Roy Keane?” O’Hara told talkSPORT when dissecting the weekend's action.“Not as the manager, but why is Roy Keane not involved at Manchester United? Tell me why he’s not involved.”When quizzed on whether or not Keane would add anything as an ex-player, O'Hara fought back and insisted that Keane's frank analysis would benefit United.Would you like to see Keane involved at Man Utd?

Gary Neville blasted Manchester United's dire possession stats from their defeat against Manchester City in the early hours of Monday morning - before slamming recent leadership off the pitch.The eight-time Premier League-winning former defender was uncompromising in his criticism of his former side on Sunday (March 6) during and after their 4-1 defeat.The following morning, Neville had another look at the fixture and in particular the statistic that showed United having just 8 per cent of the ball for a 15-minute second-half period.Not only calling out the players, the former England international took aim at co-chairmen Joel and Avram Glazer as well as former executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.Alongside a grab of the possession stat, Neville wrote: "Still can’t get my head around that!"However City aren’t just better on the pitch. "A new dawn for United with Richard Arnold as CEO and a new manager incoming but yesterday was a fitting memorial to the “Ed Woodward/Glazer“ last 10 years of mismanagement."City had ripped their local rivals to shreds in a hugely one-sided second half at the Etihad on Sunday, with Riyad Mahrez adding two goals to Kevin De Bruyne's first-half brace which came either side of Jadon Sancho's equaliser.Who will manage Manchester United next season? Give us your thoughts in the comments sectionNeville had said on Sky Sports: "Manchester United's response to going 3-1 down has been embarrassing.

Manchester United might have to contend with an unhappy Marcus Rashford this summer, who is looking to leave.The England international is said to be considering his options ahead of the transfer window and has grown concerned with life under Ralf Rangnick.Though the German coach will leave his interim role as manager at Old Trafford at the end of the season, the Guardian report that Rashford has fallen down the pecking order.Anthony Elanga is now a preferred option to the 24-year-old, while Jadon Sancho now comfortably owns a spot in the starting XI.But where could Rashford end up in the summer if he does leave United?Perhaps the most favourable destination for Rashford would be Arsenal, a club that appear to be on the up under Mikel Arteta and are desperate for a striker.The Gunners have been in fine form in recent weeks and are the most likely to finish in the top four from the rest of the teams below Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.Arteta has made signing a forward a priority in the summer, though Rashford is seen more of a winger these days, but Arsenal’s fluid frontline would be suitable for a player that likes to drift in from out wide.There is plenty of speculation that there could be some changes to Chelsea’s attack this summer with Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku all linked with moves away.The Blues are blessed with plenty of striking options but could see Rashford as an ideal replacement for anyone that is thinking of leaving Stamford Bridge.However, whether Thomas Tuchel can promise the United ace the game-time he would demand is another matter with the German fond of rotating his options.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant

Manchester United ‘gave up’ during their 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.United looked competent in the first-half of the Premier League game at the Eithad, with Jadon Sancho scoring a fabulous goal to cancel out Kevin De Bruyne’s initial effort.De Bruyne got another just before half-time and this clearly had a knock-on effect in the second period.United looked less urgent and their press dropped off as the minutes went by, with City getting a further two goals through Riyad Mahrez. Following the conclusion of the game, Gary Neville and Roy Keane scorned the side for their efforts in the second half, with the former United captain saying that they had "threw in the towel".But McTominay refuted those claims, telling Sky Sports: “From my point of view, on the pitch, it's hard to see what's going on around you but if that's what people are saying then so be it."They're all entitled to their own opinion but, for myself, it's incredibly disappointing if people think that."I'll have to watch it back and see body language and things like that but, for myself, it hurts.

Gary Lineker appeared to aim a cheeky dig at Roy Keane and Gary Neville in the aftermath of Manchester United's embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.Ralf Rangnick's visitors were totally outclassed at the Etihad as a brace apiece from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez secured all three points for the hosts. United's sorry performance prompted the usual inquest from former Old Trafford heroes after the match - something jokily predicted by Match of the Day host Lineker.
