Man United and Man City draw without goals in De Bruyne’s last derby

Manchester United and Manchester City finished 0-0 in the derby that will be remembered as the Citizens’ superstar Kevin De Bruyne’s last as the Belgium midfielder shared a few days ago that he will leave his club at the end of the season when he becomes a free agent.

The 1^st half of the derby will not be remembered with anything interesting.

At the beginning of the 2^nd half, Pep Guardiola’s side demanded a penalty for a foul against Phil Foden, but the referee didn’t give anything.

The other key moment came when the Red Devils wanted a penalty near the end of the match for a foul against Casemiro, but the official didn’t give anything. Without penalties, nobody was able to score, and the derby finished without goals as Erling Haaland didn’t play because of an injury, and without the Norwegian striker, Man City are struggling to create chances in front of the goal.

Manchester United remain in 13^th place in the Premier League with 38 points, while Manchester City are 5^th with 52 points as the Sky Blues are fighting for their place in the Champions League next season.

Casemiro made 11 tackles in the Manchester Derby, the most a midfielder has made in a Premier League game against Man City since Pep Guardiola took charge.

It's also the most any Manchester United player has made in a PL match since Patrice Evra vs. Pompey in 2008.
