Man Utd 0-1 Man City: Cracks beginning to show after poor start

[Getty Images] For Manchester United this match was a huge opportunity missed, and was strikingly similar to their 1-0 loss to 10-men Everton last November. After gaining a man advantage, they first hit the post in the 45th minute through Marcus Rashford's dipping free-kick. They then struck the woodwork again in the 50th minute through Kobbie Mainoo's curling effort from range which bounced off the post and hit the back of City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma but landed safely for the Italian to gather. United's only other major chance came right at the end when Bruno Fernandes found Bryan Mbeumo in the area and his sharp shot was palmed behind by Donnarumma. Otherwise United looked laboured going forward against 10 men, especially after City took the lead. The Red Devils finished last season well but have started this campaign poorly, winning just one Premier League match and conceding in every league game.
