It was a derby, and anything could happen, but Manchester United only performed well in the first half, while the Citizens swept the whole game. They are the best team in the world, regardless of what happens later in the Champions League, but it is a pleasure to watch them play.

Manchester City vs Manchester United Highlights

And it doesn't matter what pieces Guardiola moves in his scheme, because they all work. Grealish started in place of Sterling and, five minutes after starting provided a magnificent assist for the first goal of the Belgian genius, Kevin De Bruyne, who surpassed 50 goals in the Premier League.

Ralf Rangnick, who was unable to count on Cristiano Ronaldo, opted to strengthen the midfield and speed in attack. After De Gea had saved his team with two interventions to De Bruyne's shots, Sancho's marvel arrived to spice up the match.

Pogba's counterattack was finished by the England international, formerly of City, who cut back to the edge of the area and put a good shot on the top of Ederson's post. It was unimpeachable. That was the main ace up United's sleeve, to run after recovering the ball and surprise the Citizen defense.

Sancho apologized to his former fans before he was signed by Borussia Dortmund a few years ago. But the goal was of little use against a City side that persisted and persisted until they found their way back onto the scoreboard, De Bruyne taking advantage of a rebound in the box.

It all started with the efforts of Foden, who continues to be Guardiola's, right-hand man. The English youth player was a headache on the left, along with Cancelo, and came close to scoring on a couple of occasions. 

Sancho could have made the score 2-2 and changed history

On the stroke of halftime, Sancho had another clear chance that would have meant the equalizer and would have changed the story.

This was not the case and the second half had a clear Sky Blue color. The ball did not leave the Red Devils' territory and City did what they wanted at all times. De Gea caught what was to be De Bruyne's hat trick from a set-piece and, in the 69th minute, Mahrez finished off an excellent slate play, with a wonderful cross from the Belgian in the corner and an incredible volley from the Algerian.

The only thing left to do was to close a sensational match, and Mahrez was in charge of finishing it off on the counter, in a one-on-one with De Gea. Firstly, offside was ruled offside, but it did not exist and the fourth goal went up on the scoreboard while the home fans vibrated. United crashed against the might of the Premier League leaders, an unstoppable Manchester City.
