Manchester United and Manchester City met this Saturday at Old Trafford for the great derby of the city, corresponding to the eleventh date of the Premier League. A great match between the team led by Pep Guardiola and the Red Devils led by Cristiano Ronaldo, savior of the team in the last presentations.

The development of the actions precisely favored the 'citizens', the very marked style of their coach with possession of the ball and harassment without the ball to recover it as quickly as possible. All this was favored when they found the first goal just at 7 'by the own goal of the Ivorian Eric Bailly.

It is clear that Cristiano Ronaldo cannot do it alone. In fact, with Manchester United's names, it's crazy to say they lack company. However, it is clear that none of his teammates are up to the task, and the last few times, he was forced to save his teammates. Of course, against smaller rivals. Today, against Manchester City, he was one more on the field.
