City’s lineup featured some surprises, with Ederson starting despite recent shaky form. Phil Foden took up a central role, while Matheus Nunes, playing as a left-back, frequently pushed high into attacking positions. Guardiola’s tactical choices reflected a bold strategy but ultimately failed to secure the win.
United’s lineup, however, made headlines for different reasons. Manager Rúben Amorim controversially excluded Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the squad for disciplinary reasons. According to reports, Rashford’s focus has been questioned due to his off-field partying habits, while Garnacho and his brother were linked to a leak of team lineups. Amorim addressed the decision pre-match, emphasizing the importance of discipline in the team.
This remarkable derby will be remembered for United’s late heroics and Amorim’s firm managerial stance. The win not only brought joy to United fans but also raised questions about City’s ability to close out matches, even with their tactical flexibility and star-studded lineup.
With this comeback, United has reignited their campaign and sent a strong message to their rivals: they are not a team to be underestimated, especially when the odds are stacked against them.
