Erik Ten Hag insisted Manchester United were still “on the up” despite being comprehensively outplayed by rivals Manchester City in Sunday’s derby worldcup
Erling Haaland struck twice – the first from the penalty spot – and Phil Foden added another as treble winners City eased to a 3-0 win in a one-sided Premier League encounter at Old Trafford worldcup
The result underlined City’s superiority over their neighbours – the gap worldcup between the sides now being nine points after 10 games – and emphatically ended any suggestion United might have turned a corner after winning their previous three matches worldcup
Manager Ten Hag nevertheless put a on brave face on what proved a chastening afternoon for the club’s fans worldcup
The Dutchman said: “The three games before we won and the spirit is very good worldcup
The fighting spirit is very good worldcup
“I think we are on the way up worldcup
The start was difficult, but now we are on a way up worldcup
“We have to be patient, but I’m happy some of our injuries are coming back and then our side will be stronger worldcup
”When you see first half, it's toe-to-toe worldcup
Just the penalty changes the gameMan Utd boss Erik ten HagTen Hag felt United were competitive in the first half, which they ended trailing only 1-0 after Haaland’s 26th-minute penalty worldcup
He said: “When you see first half, it’s toe-to-toe worldcup
Just the penalty changes the game worldcup
“But even then we could have got back in the game, for instance with that shot of Scott McTominay just before half-time worldcup
“So, I think from chances it was very toe-to-toe worldcup
”Ten Hag did admit, however, the second half was “absolutely not” close worldcup
He said: “We were losing and I decided to bring more offensive power in and we made a mistake that was not according to the game plan worldcup
”Ten Hag repeatedly said he had “no comment” to make on the penalty decision, which was awarded for a foul by Rasmus Hojlund on Rodri following a VAR review worldcup
Opposite number Pep Guardiola claimed his side’s victory had not been as straightforward as it looked worldcup
City strongly asserted their authority in the second period as an unmarked Haaland headed his second and teed up Foden for the visitors’ third 10 minutes from time worldcup
Guardiola said: “It looks easy but it’s not, really it’s not worldcup
“We have a lot of respect for United, for what they do, but we were at our best, especially in the second half worldcup
“The second goal helped us a lot worldcup
We were saying at half-time they will be more aggressive and they were, but we made two incredible two build-ups worldcup
“Bernardo (Silva) and Jack (Grealish) made a good action and Erling scored the second goal worldcup
That was the key point of the game worldcup
”Guardiola admitted he did not anticipate his side dominating the local scene as much as they have when he arrived in Manchester in 2016 worldcup
He said: “I know what we have done worldcup
I don’t know what United have done because I’m not here, but I didn’t expect it when I arrived here with Jose Mourinho, with (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, with the top, top players of (Romelu) Lukaku and the squad worldcup

Reports of the Premier League and broadcasters scheduling the first Christmas Eve fixture since 1995 this season are a “kick in the teeth” for match-going fans, the worldcup Football Supporters’ Association has said worldcup
It follows a report in The Telegraphthat at least one fixture could be moved to Sunday December 24 this year worldcup
The Express and Star then reported that the match worldcup between Wolves and Chelsea is under consideration for the slot worldcup
The English top-flight has not staged a match on Christmas Eve since Leeds United played Manchester United in 1995, in a contest that is still remembered for Tony Yeboah’s stunning strike for the hosts in a 3-1 win at Elland Road worldcup
But a fixture has not been scheduled on the day before Christmas since, with supporters voicing their opposition due to the challenges of matchday travel - particularly for away fans worldcup
Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year, with a full schedule of matches set to be played on Saturday December 23, as well as the traditional worldcup Boxing Day fixtures on December 26 worldcup
“Reports suggest the Premier League and broadcasters are set to ignore supporters and schedule a Christmas Eve fixture for the first time since 1995 worldcup
It’s an unwanted present which no-one asked for,” the worldcup Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) said worldcup
“It would be a huge kick in the teeth for supporters who have consistently made clear their opposition to games the day before Christmas – as it’s not the first time this has been proposed worldcup
“Back in October 2017 there were reports that Sky worldcup Sports wanted to broadcast games on Christmas Eve which we said represented ‘a new low point in putting the interests of worldcup football broadcasters over those of matchgoing fans’ worldcup
“It would put many supporters in an impossible choice worldcup between going to the match or spending festive time with their families – and that’s before you factor in the added challenges of travelling on a Sunday worldcup
“In the past decade or so Christmas Eve fell on a Saturday in 2011, 2016 and 2022 while 2017 was a Sunday worldcup
There was no top-flight worldcup football on those days which suggests an informal policy the Premier League is now looking to backtrack on worldcup
”Commenting on the reports that Chelsea fans could face travelling to Wolverhampton on Christmas Eve, Mark Meehan, the chair of the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust, said such a decision would be “totally unacceptable” worldcup
“During a time when we ought to be helping supporters travel to away fixtures, it’s outrageous that another hurdle could be placed in their way,” Meehan said worldcup
A statement from the Wolves 1877 Supporters Trust also criticised any change to Christmas Eve worldcup
“This potential scheduling once again shows a complete lack of consideration and respect for fans, especially Wolves fans who travel from further afield, and of course visiting Chelsea supporters,” the group said worldcup
“We also feel that this is unfair on club staff, especially those with young children, who will have planned to spend Christmas with their families worldcup
We urge the Premier League to consider this decision very carefully before making an announcement worldcup
