Manchester United have lost again!
Yes, the Red Devils fans' dreams of revival were shattered when Manchester United lost 2-1 to local rivals Manchester City in the early match of the fourth round of the Premier League at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
With Henrik Mkhitaryan starting, the first start for the three stars who spent nearly £150 million this summer was the first time they started together, with Manchester City's new signing Claudio Bravo starting the game, with both starters worth a whopping £840 million, making the 171st Manchester derby the most expensive Premier League derby ever.
Manchester United has only lost one of its four games against Manchester City in the past two seasons, but has only won one of its last five league home games and lost three of the rest, so it looks like the home advantage is not large.
In 171 all-time meetings, Manchester United has the upper hand with 70 wins, 51 draws and 49 losses, and in the 38 all-time meetings in the Premier League, Manchester United also has the upper hand with 20 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses, including 10 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats away.
this game. United rotated their strikers, with Mkhitaryan and Jose Lingard coming on and Antonio Martial coming on the bench.
For Manchester City, Baccari Sania and Aleksandar Kolarov rotated, with youngster Klazi Iheanacho coming on in place of suspended Sergio Aguero and new signing Leroy Sane coming to the bench.
Jose Mourinho and Josep Guardiola shook hands and hugged before the game, giving the impression that the feud between the two was a rumour.
The two have had 16 direct conversations before, and Guardiola has an advantage of 7 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses.
The two sides fought fiercely after the opening kick-off, and the game went straight to a stalemate, with both sides quickly having shots on goal, but both were off target.
City soon took the lead in the 15th minute, when Kolarov played a long ball at the back, Iheanacho got a header before Eric Bailly, and City's new thigh, Kevin De Bruyne, stabbed the ball past Daley Blind and fired a low shot into the bottom left corner from the edge of the box, which was unstoppable by the onrushing Daud David De Gea.
The goal, reminiscent of Hull City's goal in the last game, was almost identical, and Blind was likely to be slammed by the media and United fans after the game.
In an attempt to equalise, United launched an onslaught, with captain Wayne Rooney arguing over Pep Guardiola's refusal to give the ball while picking up the ball on the sidelines, and the Spaniard's off-the-field moves can be described as vicious.
In the 36th minute, Manchester United was hit hard, Iheanacho passed, De Bruyne cut into the right side of the penalty area and passed two people, the ball hit the far corner post and bounced back, and Iheanacho, who successfully countered offside, easily pushed the goal from close range, and in less than 40 minutes, the host Manchester United fell behind 0-2.
Fortunately, in the 42nd minute, David Silva was booked for tackling Antonio Valencia behind his back, Rooney took a free kick cross, Bravo made a mistake from a distance, Zlatan Ibrahimovic volleyed directly from 15 yards on the left side of the box, and although two of Manchester City tried to block the empty goal, the ball went into the net close to the left post, and Manchester United pulled one back.
In stoppage time, United missed an equaliser when Jesse Lingard's shot from the left side of the box was blocked by John Stones and then passed, and Bravo made another mistake to concede an empty goal, but Ibravo's hastily low shot was blocked.
It was clear that Jose Mourinho made another mistake in his starting line-up in the first half, confirming the mistake of the Portuguese's starting line-up by replacing Lingard and Mkhitaryan in the second half with talented rising stars Marcus Rashford and Andel Herrera respectively.
After that, there were plenty of scoring chances for both sides in the second half, but both missed. Manchester City's new signing Leroy Sane replaced Raheem Sterling to make his debut for Manchester City.
In the second half, Manchester United's crazy pressing and attacking made Manchester City shrink all the backfield defense, and finally stubbornly held on to the win, leading the Premier League with a winning record.
Pep Guardiola also became the first Manchester City coach to win six consecutive wins in all competitions in the opening season, and Jose Mourinho's unbeaten home myth also failed again, losing to Pep Guardiola again, and the Portuguese was pushed down the cusp of public opinion after the game.

"The weather is so sunny today,
Good scenery everywhere,
Good scenery
……”
Stretching his waist, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling the sunshine, Niu Shuai looked intoxicated.
It's a rare sunny day, the sun is shining on my body, it's so comfortable.
In the stands at Turf Moore Stadium, Hull City fans who had come from afar to cheer on the team occupied a stand, and blue and black became the main color of the stand.
Darko Milovic glanced at Mike Ferran, who was warming up with the players on the field, and said to Niu Shuai, who was sitting in the coach's seat with his legs crossed and squinting: "Boss, the latest news, the Dai family's negotiations to buy the team have stalled, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to buy this team." ”
The Premier League committee has failed to pass the Dai family's qualifying test, their financial assessment, and the acquisition is currently on the verge of rupture.
Although Dai Xiuli told the Daily Mail: "We are still interested in Hull City FC and we want to make Hull City one of the strongest clubs in the UK. ”
Niu Shuai said lightly: "Have a half-dime relationship with me?" ”
Milovic touched his head, as if he had nothing to do with the boss.
Whoever buys Hull City will still be the manager of Hull City, and the team's hierarchy cannot interfere in the team's competitive affairs.
"Boss, Manchester United lost again, 1-2 at home to Manchester City, haha, two consecutive defeats, Mourinho is nothing remarkable." Milovic continued to "harass" Niu Shuai.
"As expected, Mourinho has been dumped by Pep Guardiola." Niu Shuai opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Milovic, and said: "Burnley's home game is not easy to play, the team's run-in is not enough, if you lose, you help me take the blame, how about it?" ”
Don't scare me, boss, this pot is too heavy, and my little brother can't carry it.
Milovic broke out in a cold sweat, afraid that the boss would really let him take the blame, and it would be strange if he didn't get sprayed to death by Hull City fans when he went out.
"Boss, boss, you are clever, the strength of the current team is obviously improving very quickly, Manchester United has won, and you can't win this red wine that has lost two games."
"Red wine? Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink the pipa immediately urge, drunk lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, the ancient battle of a few people back. An inexplicable light flashed in Niu Shuai's eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he was talking to himself.
Both teams were in the Championship last season, winning one home and one away, plus the previous year in the Premier League, Hull City home and away against Burnley is two consecutive defeats, it can be said that the two sides have met in the past 4 games, Hull City 1-3 is at a disadvantage.
But this historical record data is unreliable and can only be used as a reference, otherwise, Manchester United would not have lost to Hull City and Manchester City in succession.
