Summary: Manchester City - Manchester United 1: 4 (Sport 1)

Sharp criticism of Manchester United after the 4: 1 defeat in the derby by Manchester City.

Former Red Devils defender and current commentator Gary Neville said the team players gave up the game after the third goal and Roy Keane agreed with him.

According to some reports, the Manchester United players were furious that Cristiano Ronaldo, who is suffering from an injury, did not come to the game at all.

According to Athletic, Cristiano Ronaldo flew to Portugal to treat a hip injury that also bothered him earlier this year, but mostly his locker room friends were fairly surprised that he did not stay with them before the derby and of course did not come to support them at the stadium.

CR7 took off for Portugal claiming that it is a hot country and that the weather in the place will help him recover from the injury.

Former United midfielder

told Sky Sports: "I think the worst thing you can say about United, and Gary mentioned it, is the fact that they gave up. For a derby player, in every game, giving up is unforgivable. We've seen it all. United's shortcuts today. There's a way to lose, we all lost in football matches, but the way United lost today was after the players gave up, players did not want at all. The coach will be criticized for the tactics, but the fact that players do not run back when playing "Unacceptable. They threw away the towel and that's a shame and a disgrace."

Cain went on to say: "I'm very frustrated watching this game. I can forgive mistakes, but you have to run back after players. There were players like that, five or six, and I thought they could not play for Manchester United again. It's a shame, a shame you "Do not run after players, that you do not invest that little bit."

The Irishman went on to criticize specific players on the second goal: "Look at Fred, you have a contact standing there like he's waiting for the bus, you have to go back and defend your goal.

On the fourth goal, Cain said: "Look at McTominy, he looks like a decent guy, but at this level ... bump into him! Go in front of him and take the rhyme. It should come from within, not from the team or the coaches, it should be in your DNA as a player." .

Cain went on to say: "I do not think the coach could have done things differently, but when the substitutes came in, stopped fighting. I do not know what is happening in the locker room. Look at Maguire, he had a weak game, he quarreled with Ronaldo over the captain's film and other things? Here are players with a lot of ego and you have to leave the ego out.These players just think what they look like? If their shoes are beautiful? If their hair is beautiful? Play already.You are at Manchester United, we look at the fans behind the goal and see that they understand that their players have given up .

Unhappy performance.

Gary Neville

referred to the fact that at some point in the game an amazing statistic appeared on screen according to which Manchester City held the ball 92% of the time in the last 15 minutes.

Neville said: "I have to say that Manchester United's reaction after the 3-1 was embarrassing. I have never seen anything like this in any football game, 92% ball possession. United players have given up. I understand it is difficult to play against a top team, but they "Just walking around the field, it's not close to being good enough."

Neville added: "The result is not the problem. It's the reaction after the 3-1 that is the problem. United players just gave up. It's like they played with nine players. City played brilliantly in the second half, but the effort and intensity of the United players in the last 20 minutes There were no complaints. There could be no complaints. City were amazing, but as a Manchester United fan it's embarrassing. United finished this game after a serious shower, they were ashamed in the last 25 minutes. Rangnick is not to blame,
