“100% pass accuracy, 100% Tackles completed. I just can’t stop clapping for him after the masterclass display from him Today”- Arsenal icon Thierry Henry can’t stop applauding One Man United star following a wonderful performance against Man city that made Man United play their best game of the season so far despite the loss

Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United did not emerge victorious against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the Manchester derby.

Manchester United faced Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Manchester United lost the game 3-1.

Marcus Rashford scored a fantastic goal for the Red Devils, giving them the lead in just eight minutes. United were leading 1-0 at halftime.

City, the winners of the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and FA Cup last weekend, improved in the second half and won the Manchester derby 3-1.

Phil Foden scored two goals for Pep Guardiola’s team. Erling Haaland, a Norwegian striker, scored a goal for the home team.

United delivered a decent performance for the majority of the encounter, with Jonny Evans standing out as one of the standout players for the visiting team.

Acclaim for Manchester United’s defender, Jonny Evans, in the match against Manchester City
Evans played in center defense with Raphael Varane, and Dion Dublin, a former United player and BBC Sport pundit, was impressed by the performance of the 36-year-old Northern Ireland international.

Evans demonstrated an 80% pass accuracy, 31 touches, one dribble, three tackles, two interceptions, and four clearances during his time at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Evans excelled in the first half and demonstrated solid defensive skills. He appeared fatigued in the second half, so it’s not unexpected that he was substituted.

Dublin commented on Evans’ performance on BBC Sport, stating, “Jonny Evans has had a strong performance today, displaying experience and maturity.” He possesses a deep understanding of the game and has performed exceptionally well.

My Opinion: Manchester United should not be overly discouraged
Manchester United should not be overly disheartened by their loss to Manchester City.

City have the most formidable team in the Premier League and are considered the top contenders to win the Manchester derby.

United’s ability to keep a clean sheet until the 56th minute highlights their strong defensive performance. Furthermore, Haaland scored in injury time.

Manchester United are still competitive for a top-four position in the Premier League this season.
