Manchester Derby Ends Goalless at Old Trafford

The 196th Manchester derby ended in a goalless draw, with both teams showing a lack of urgency and creativity. Manchester United had the better chances, particularly with a close miss from Alejandro Garnacho, while Manchester City struggled to make an impact despite moments of potential. The match was characterized by a series of yellow cards for Portuguese players, reflecting a tense atmosphere on the field. Both managers sought to change the course of the game with substitutions, but neither side could capitalize on their opportunities. This result leaves United and City in 13th and 5th place respectively, with United's season increasingly in jeopardy. The outcome prevented Ruben Amorim from becoming the third manager to beat Pep Guardiola three times in a row.
