Overview
- Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-0 at the Etihad, with Phil Foden scoring and Erling Haaland adding a second-half brace.
- United sit 14th with four points from four matches for their worst start since 1992-93, following last month’s Carabao Cup exit to League Two Grimsby Town.
- Rúben Amorim said he will not change his philosophy and told critics that if a different approach is wanted, the club should change the manager.
- Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville voiced concern over Amorim’s future, while Micah Richards highlighted a lack of midfield legs and Nigel Reo-Coker criticised the coach’s tactical rigidity.
- Manchester Evening News reports the board supports Amorim for now, even as a source close to him called that stance “incredible,” and the club is due to publish annual accounts on Sept. 17.
