Manchester city vs Manchester United 2008/2009 full match

Joe Hart, who was injured in the recent

match

at Hull, has still started every Premier League

match

for Manchester City this season. The back four is unchanged from the midweek win over Schalke, with Vincent Company lining up there. Now Steven Island has been the driving force in the

city

midfielder with four goals in his last three games and returns Robinho absent on Thursday due to an ankle injury returns for Dan Sturridge in the only change to that side the other Brazilians Ilano and Joe They join Sturridge on a bench that also includes son of United legend Peter Schmeichel Goalkeeper Casper Edwin van Dassar rested for Villarreal on Tuesday Returns to United goal There is a big vote of confidence for Rafael, 18, whose first test in this fixture comes at the expense of the more experienced john o'shea who has darren fletcher returned from the last league game after a knee injury, but the unexpected bonus is the quicker than expected recovery from injury in the hamstring of Dimitar Berbatov, for whom this should be his time among United's substitutes, Ryan Giggs, who turned 35 yesterday, the former

city

schoolboy.

He has featured in all of these teams' Premier League clashes. Well, the experience in this victory is varied, but Rio Ferdinand is trying the Manchester derby for the twelfth time and his counterpart Richard Dunn for the fourteenth. It's Superstar Wars in Eastlands, but will it be? The Brazilian or the Portuguese who emerges victorious with the pride of Manchester on the Chelsea and Arsenal stage is for later our first Marcus Premier League live football this afternoon is the Manchester City derby against the champions of course interactive if you are a heaven viewer digital and you want to enjoy that facility, press the red button on your remote and you will find the menu page and it is also worth a look today, this is in Manchester, let's join our commentators Alan Smith and Rob Hawthorne as well as Manchester United.

Player Mark Hughes had a good record in this match, losing only once, but those past draws are forgotten today when he faces his former boss, Sir Alec Ferguson, for whom this is a 33rd derby, the first to win the Fa Cup by one nil, the worst, a 5. -1 drubbing at Main Road 19 years ago that sent him into hiding and Mark Hughes scored United's goal that day. There is a statement of intent from Manchester City when they got their new money that Dimitar Berbatov was one of the players they tried to kidnap. his move from spurs to old trafford, but today he lines up against City here.

Well, if you had told Manchester City at the start of last season that they would do the league double over Manchester United, their fans would probably have said there was just as much chance of signing. a 32 and a half million pound Brazilian who would take the tram to trafford center well, everything that has happened in the intervening 15 months or so the city dares to dream of the next rio ferdinand and here he is resigning berbatov parker really started on the right and ronaldo on the left but as always alan smith i'm sure we'll see a bit of flexibility in the way

manchester

united

line up yes i think so.

I have seen Ronaldo before starting on a flank and after five minutes. just switch to keep the opposition thinking, but what a promising prospect, this promotion for Cell is close to Ronaldo in the type of marking you can expect today. Ronaldo, who came out worse when Brazil's Robinhood played Portugal and beat them 6-2. recently benjamin went for the header i hope for a similar result to the international here certainly ending up on the winning side is michael richards lining up the shot at carrick with a deep header maha there is so much expectation aren't there swirls around

manchester

?

City right now, you can imagine Sir Alex Ferguson in that away dressing room beforehand reminding his players that they are the champions of the premier league, they are the champions of Europe and let's go and never mind a statement of intent from City. Go and show everyone here, in front of millions of people around the world, who's boss. Wayne Rooney, as his manager has pointed out this week that for all the money they apparently have, they will start to worry about the city when they start winning trophies. Here is Raphael, who escapes from his compatriots Robino, who is trying to get revenge on him and Dunn authorizes him to Steven Island, now his man, this is Garrido, who came off at half time against Schalke but recovered to start again new today.

They have such an attacking lineup that City have chosen today like they have in the last few games, I mean you look at the top six and really only didi haman has those defensive instincts everett's ball was looking for rooney there is a defensive intervention that the company had to do he has done burrito this is his man and here is robinho, who nominally started on the left, but is prone to make some show of faith in the youth that sir alec ferguson has put rafael there today against his countrymen, well he's like that, isn't he ferguson when he has faith in the Player, he doesn't care about the occasion, he doesn't care, he's only 18, he's only made a couple of starts in the league and this is the third.

He has faith in Raphael and you will learn a lot about the game from him, I'm sure. by putting it on this kind of occasion here is berbatov now ronaldo cleans a pair of heels on richards and then on phillips right but it was vasel who came back and took the ball away from richards headed by benjamin and is backed up by patrice evra who made his debut of the Manchester United in this match was also not particularly happy. He was substituted at halftime in a defeat. Here's the time for even the most experienced players to calm down.

Here is the company. Now Richard Dunn. Runner. Stephen Island. Dunn's ball looks to find Ireland. Raphael. de Silva, who made the header and was then caught by the Irishman, barely measured the start in reality for the derby, there is so much farmland out there of course but he is not as fanatical as we have seen in years past so far, at least I assume there is only one. Manchester-born player on any of the teams and that is Dan Sturridge, who is on the City bench today. Here is Berbatov, the man with one toe. He would be opening here for Fletcher, who looked to get away from Richard Dunn and got burned just crossing to the right.

On the left side to try and find some space, he moves into all kinds of positions, doesn't he? It is where humor takes him and it is a surprise that they have Berbatov in the team in which he had been practically ruled out. the start of the week due to a hamstring injury, but his reappearance means more frustration today for carlos tevers on the bench here is ferdinand, i will be disappointed if you were expecting a fairly enthusiastic start here, it has been measured with quite a bit of hesitation, carrick now took raphael past Garrido, great chance, that wasn't a great run from the City youngster, he just stood still when United got the ball, just tried to keep shape, but it's a dangerous tactic you know, it shows there, a nice touch again from Raphael Fletcher. looking to convey it by putting pressure on United getting closer just trying to keep shape and uh putting bodies between the ball and their goal United have that pass that that cut type move on Michael Carrick's head was challenged and wins the free kick with which they are looking to find rooney but the company is an easy touch away but this is ronaldo this is darren fletcher carrick passed by evra ronaldo with the touch to rooney interrupted at the end by deepma they can only chain a few passes together I know it is not in particularly dangerous areas in the middle of the park, but there is no real contact with United players so far.

They will be there to remind you that you have the game in your hands. There is Ronaldo Carrick for the first time in front of the park and Rooney. on that first real sight of the goal and it may still have happened the goalkeeper spilled it and fletcher suddenly got there but city did quite well no one expected joe hart to spill it at least darren fletcher but again there was no pressure on the ball and simply cuts the city vervets with the clearance, fletcher looks for the vervets again, the clearance only reaches rooney and for the first time the city defense shows signs of nerves, particularly in the handling of their goalkeeper, there has been a nervous old start, the ideal start for the visitors they dominate possession at the moment here is park now carrick feel good on that right side where rafael de silva has provided useful support to gsun park and it was from that side that the threat, Rooney suddenly freed himself well but the players that Manchester City have gotten along with and really need some protection for Garrido, but it was all too easy, wasn't it?

It swerves towards Ronaldo into Rooney's path and he puts his head in his hands after this because he's really disappointed. It doesn't make Joe Hart work a little harder than he did, he really shouldn't have had to work that hard, but they get away with it. City Garrido will ask for a little more help. Stephen Island is obviously an attacking player he likes. to buy Mum and Rabbi, well he's not going to channel too far back on that side to help the left back, here's Ireland and Charlie getting on Rio Ferdinand's shoulder and here's Vinitch Island header Micah Richards and They haven't yet They haven't said they haven't started.

The first thing visitors want to do is simply try to cover up the environment. Manchester United have certainly dominated the early game with possession. Howard Webb, the experienced referee in charge, refereed Manchester City's victory at Old Trafford. In February, the first time he officiated in this match, here is Rooney looking to slide the ball into the park or Ronaldo, who had gone ahead of him, a man put himself in trouble against Fletcher Ireland up front in Benghani. that sometimes he is not the best at holding the ball and he will have difficulties against Ferdinand and Vidic I really have to try to get him a good quality ball from a shorter distance.

Ferdinand has a lot of pressure from City but there is no joy in possession, it is a lovely ball. from carrick to evra who ran forward and out of the company, a great

united

move again leading to a corner, well i just can't get close at the moment, manchester city really being pushed and pulled from all sides, both

full

backs . United went forward and it was a sublime pass from Michael Carrick to free Produce Ever against Aaron Fletcher, but it's back to rooney. This time, Rooney again, Fletcher Berbet, relaxes with Vinich. Ronaldo tries, but it is a direct block from Garrido.

However, Ronaldo succeeds and is eliminated again. He really shouldn't have been allowed to pass that ball. ronaldo climbing, he is so dangerous. He has this ability, hasn't he understood that he begins to almost reach a real height with the jump of him? has a couple against him now he's making Richard originally pick him and he got between two to get into the header. Ferguson was complaining about the poor treatment he had been given and that of course continued against Villarreal in the week, but I tried. to find the line in these matches between dazzling with your skills and finishing off opposing players and fans look for rooney from that ball rooney probably would have been offside anyway if he had tried here's a man here's robinho he has to choose sean right phillips but patrice evra I saw that pass until the end A bit of football Manchester United's half is even better in their defensive third if they can keep the ball under control so far Ireland look for Richards His boot was High Court Village The referee he just wants to stop it to make sure they're both okay, which actually turned out worse.

It seems like a pretty innocent challenge. I think it was dangerous because his boot was up and he was spitting. She is trying to tell the referee. There you have it. She got marks on her chest. Anxious city. to really apply some pressure, those groups of players got their eye on the ball and they certainly catch Vidic, it's a dangerous challenge. The referee had played and reconstructed it afterward, he had to temporarily withdraw for the brief treatment he received, but he had been interested in showing the marks to Howard Webb and his assistant. That's just one of those balls that Michael Richards felt he had to try and finish.

He never wants to hold back because he always puts his body on the line for a quarter of an hour. gone and United have certainly had the better of the early exchanges. I decided to give him a free kick now because he hadn't given it before. He left the player with an explanation from the referee. Both players are back. Here it is. carrick led by company to richard dunn the clearance from memory was aimed at rabinio who is weighed down for having done it just a bit of anxiety on the part of the manchester city team at the moment frustrated at not being able to get going lack of options in possession when They receive the ball at the back I feel like they need to work a little harder in terms of finding movement if the team joins a Vincent Company option.

Well, it was a match in which svenjor anderickson had an impeccable record, a one-nil win here at the start of last season thanks to giovanni, a 2-1 win at Old Trafford in February, United hurt by those defeats, the game lacks a bit of sharpness of Manchester City at the moment, they are certainly not as good when they receive the ball as United have been. in possession perhaps a consequence of the fact that their European match was later in the week that United's three days to recover from that win over Schalke, they come

full

of confidence after the two results they have had against Arsenal in the league yagainst refuge in europe fletcher just clicked on sure phillips, so the explanation seemed harmless enough at the time darren fletcher made his ninth derby appearance for sean ryde phillips, who scored in a 4-1 win here in march 2004, still looking uncomfortable right phillips richards with a shot behind benjamin now that is cleared at the end by carrick after the ball bounced off the cell's hand is rafael now park michael carrick who is rafael de silva the park search his first touch of taking pasta he is a strong client to move but he is giving away a free kick there that was a lovely first touch of g sun park he was really on the bend in the race he was always fighting after that I know he is not slow of no way to send Half Patrick Sharp The top 20 became a favorite pick in the league.

Jason Park is enjoying his best run in the team in the Premier League now for two and a half years. Rooney took a corner early. He's now shooting this free throw. Looking for offers from Fletcher Berbet. Also and it is Ireland who takes it from Robinho who is on top only Rafael Feltz who had won the ball from his compatriot there the referee did not agree and throwing the ball runs the risk of being cautioned here we are going to see the first card, Howard Webb goes to the young man, I'm sure they are throwing the ball more than the foul produces the first caution, he just threw it into the air behind the area where the free kick should have been taken.

And yes, he delayed the execution of the free kick. Elvina did not have the opportunity to settle for a couple of minutes before Rafael dispossessed the Brazilian. There you have it, it's more of a small throw into the air than a scare from 20 meters away, but the final result is the same. yellow card gives rafael a silva a little problem now psychological advantage for rabbi against him that is a good example although with United's challenge they are winning individual battles all over the field sharper in all departments at the moment now fletcher here it is park, it's a cross from rafael, berbatov's header and heart to full extent, that's a typical top effort, it really was just a nonchalant turn of the neck and an attempt to guide it towards that far post and what a good effort it really is have to move your feet, joe. hart to cross his goal line it's a very good stop shot before it's rooney again in this dead ball situation rooney corner cleared by Ireland carrick fletcher chased by garrido now everett park possible challenge from sean wright phillips still working a bit with his movement what do you think about him, about Ben Gianni, Verbena, Stephen Ireland, how many times have we seen them on the ball?

Very Little Park just dragging that one in for Darren Fletcher, now Carrick looking to clip one over top company, removed and here's Vasel, is that him? looking for his players to create a greater executive performance here he went with the ball but they have given it away cheaply again ravino has recovered it from Fletcher's pressure from the park and here is Fletcher emerging with it, is it going to require some of that work, is it? TRUE? that desire to regain possession of the city that mourinho just showed in an instant there for them to try to gain a foothold in this game at the moment when they are nowhere ronaldo in the way of rooney berbatov lost his balance carrick fletcher berbatov city trying to they make it difficult to play through them but they found Fletcher and here's Ronaldo and that's not typical of him, it was a waste, we've got a couple of people in the box waiting for a little curved cross, but again they worked.

The ball reached the edge of City's 18-yard box without really a physical challenge. Whoever got the balance tended to be all or nothing with Manchester City this season. Five Premier League wins, all by a margin of three goals or more, which is why City fans are worried. If the first target is to come it should be for the men in sky blue, but United seem the most likely from what we have seen so far, they just need something a bit fun, perhaps for Mourinho, Night Phillips to give them life. I feel the crowd get excited too here is Raphael Fletcher Ferdinand and here is Vinich the ball is chosen to park a nice and comfortable possession again by United Richards unable to reach the header it is ronaldo rooney sticking out a leg for the Everest there the fire is over Things have taken shape in this first half.

It seems that there is only a little time left before Manchester United's first goal appears again. It's a good place. Good move. I thought Joe Hart slipped. He has touched this. He takes a goal kick. Now just outside United. I have seen. comfortable without the advantage to show because he has been involved in a couple of goalless draws in his last two games here he is berbet vs. Cristiano Ronaldo seems so uncertain about Manchester City's game plan at the moment that I don't know whether to continue or turn, they are falling, but there has to be a point where you have to press, that is, Berbatov dropped the two center halves and was able to receive it on his feet and turn, start the movement, you can't keep falling.

The last thing you want to do is give him time and space now, right, Phillips, here's Ronaldo, he really wants him to lean in, he's going to have to try and get that Fletcher back. It just seems like a lack of self-confidence in this Manchester City team you know. If you don't think you can go toe to toe with this United team, second best everywhere, Carrick, strange game, really because it's half an hour coming up at Manchester United, looking comfortable but with nothing to show for it, yeah, those are the good news, right? City, that scoreboard in the top left corner is an all-out one-way attack on the defense at the moment and you wouldn't have said at the start of this game it would be your home derby.

I didn't think it was going to be a fight. A physical one, I don't understand it much these days, but you expected City to come out of the blocks and show much more confidence in possession than them and much more threatening. There has been a lot of talk in light of their Manchester City declarations of intent transfer funds and if there was ever a game in which such a declaration could occur you would think here is Carrick retained by Rooney just made a small change Mark Hughes put Stephen Island on the right side I feel good Phillips moves to the other in an attempt to try to change things because he needs it and Johnny with a header sees a little more ambition from his team.

Sometimes it's not about skill, is he still on the board and have we talked a lot? About Virginia, he's got a little bit of heart, a little bit of urgency, that's what they need. She turned it into a competition. He was a player who always showed a lot of courage and bravery when leading the front line. Who can put his head on the end of this? Guido's kick and Ireland's punches he's armed all he needed was a reaction I don't know if my coaches thought I was offside so he thought I'd try to leave him at the best time by far Manchester is a disaster the free space can't reach a greater distance van der sar and I think he leaves it, you know, michael richards feels that it was backwards if he touches it they will mark him, but it certainly wasn't right, they needed a little more. conviction about michael richards, then I mean Ireland's effort only clipped the outside of the post, but if he had been sharper with his reactions, Manchester City's first chance of the game could have led to a goal that simply emphasizes well the nature strange from the conflict.

Need to try and use that now as the crowd woke up a bit after that blurry action if you try to keep putting pressure on City, however, he felt he had been fouled and then tried to push Phillips right out of his way, vital clearance that from Ferdinand Robinho still wants him, although Ireland is a foul from Fletcher on Phillips's coast and it is a yellow card, well, it has the desired effect of almost failing City, he is cheering the players on one of the few occasions where that the City cabin have gotten to the ball quicker than the United towards the foul for the captain here, as Howard Webb looks to establish his authority and restore some order, well the last free kick gave Vandasar a bit of a problem , seems willing to test the goalkeeper, if he is tempted, I bet he is tempted.

By far he needs a little bit of deviation in the way he came out he's the scoring tally didn't he? free kick chelsea came off the wall that's for the cells header now ben johnny yes steven island away by vintage lovely touch from rooney here's carrick two to his right they just seem to slide in at the point of contact there what a compelling touch from wayne rooney , look at that beautiful city on the right, just lining up the shot, his standing foot taps Richards, three to pass it to and back to evra and away to ireland oh they really have looked dangerous every time he has that side left pick the right moment to let it go and I'll do some back heel the cock came out of his hand at one point it was steven islands I don't know to what extent this draws a bit of ridicule from Rooney here as fans of the City can't resist here, it's a hesitation from memory, let the company solve Phillips Carrick's offside, Rooney, the South Wales issue and the Manchester issue.

The classic London clash will arrive later on Sky Sports 1 in HD1. It's Chelsea against Arsenal. Make sure you are with us from the start of preparation at 3:30. Rafael de Silva, who finds Wayne Rooney, separates himself from him, although to finish here there has been a lot of talk about the balance of this Manchester City team and the too many attacking mining players and I think that in an ideal world, Mark Hughes would believe that and it has come to the fore so far in this match that they haven't been able to. Competing in the middle of the part has been an unbalanced look.

He gave any type of ball to Benjamin and supported him. Richards. Some problems. Park Everett. Just a device mocked for that little touch. I'm pretty happy right now united but having dominated this first half. I wouldn't be too happy if they haven't scored yet. I've been able to make a big breakthrough because you have to think there will be more to come from Manchester City once Marcus has been able to get in on them at half-time. Here it is. Carrick is just one of those lingering questions about this City team's goal scoring balance generally hasn't been a problem for them, they have scored in all of their league games here, allowing them to do so today, has been able to contain the united attacks. with too many attack minded players every three or four times it's really overlapped with no one following him two on one with him and ronaldo against michael richards away for company it's fletcher's header sure phillips which is fine that's ferguson who tends to be quite relaxed in the days when games were supposed to be high pressure until now, that's Ferdinand, yes, I think he was within his rights to go for his lovely hell in the video that cautioned him, he has to be careful , but just squeeze that second ball. certainly on the spot as a man pushes him through jesse sense half-time approaches lining up at touch city it's going to be painful for the goalkeeper but it was a loose ball, we've seen two United players booked and now Steven joins Island free kick from them ferdinand de berbatov rooney manchester united it was a goal coming and rooney, who missed both games last season due to suspension, returned to this game with a bench, well what a time to score right on the spot where you thought I've had so much possession one or two half chances that it won't come again in this first half.

Berbatov moves to the left side and wins that header after Manchester City chases him. Look at how many sky blue t-shirts there are. there, but they can't stop Carrot from getting shot, that's where Joe hits Joe Hart needed a little help, he doesn't understand it, you can't say United don't deserve this one goal lead, they've been on top of their local rivals , about them. It is the 100th goal of Wayne Rooney's career and what is an opportunity to score it? His celebration in front of the city fans is evidence of his joy. Benjamin Robinio ends up going for the same ball here, all in by Garrido and Vidic's deflected header. rooney was there to pick it up but here is berbetoff now darren fletcher berbatov carrick evra here is ronaldo michael carrick brought down by darius phasell free kick which carrick followed up with and here is berbatovunited feeling city could be vulnerable again here before half time crosstalk blocked by warrior good for a while i think that's seven games without a goal at the age of 23 now for wayne rooney here's richards this is ronaldo now company movie by beautiful benjamin island that was the best moment of the match really in terms of inspiration from Manchester City a little flicker for the first time in the corner since Stephen Island forms asking a lot to test Van der Saar from there this is the goal easier to take advantage of the striker but he anticipates the takedown like all good strikers very little look through the assistant flag stays down what he wants to see do you think he was satisfied with that just a touch punching the air with relief as much as anything else perhaps because it looked like Manchester United's first half dominance was about to go unrewarded? two minutes added in the first half here is carrick nemanja vinich ferdinand carrick for a run again he was brought down by gasel who had not given him a free kick a few minutes ago he receives a card this time collecting some Don't we have two reserves each?now here is ronaldo evra vinich now carrick carrick out of rooney's reach marcus has spoken a lot about the enormous amount of work he still has to do to compete on equal terms with the likes of manchester united well anyone inside this stadium for first time. 45 would leave no doubt about the class of golf between these two teams at the moment really left the mark in this contest manchester united well wayne rooney's seven pesos for the 100th goal of his career has surpassed his goal is the difference after It seemed United's excellent work in that first half could go unrewarded.

Manchester City nor Manchester United will be the change and my brother will leave. You still think they will play with three as well. Well, that shows that Mark Hughes hasn't wasted any time. halftime has it, I mean, he's there, he said, right, we have to change things, get people who can understand that, I mean, that's what they're going to look for Alana to do to get to the ball, keep going keeping this team like a chicken because they haven't had any they haven't held the ball at all let's go back and fix all that so with our commentators alan smith and rob hawthorne there was a decision made right at the end of the half by mark hughes savaletta and ilano He been warming up for much of the half-time break and they are coming for Darius to sell Manchester City.

I need to get a foothold in this game. I've seen enough of Vengani and Robinho so far to cause Manchester United and Wayne too many problems. Rooney's goal is difference, including this one. Manchester United's first eight away games in the Premier League this season have been against the eight teams that finished immediately below them when they last finished as champions, demonstrating the difficult start they have had. away and have only managed two wins in those games so far, but they are in a dominant position and really the one goal lead does not reflect their supremacy in the overall game so far and Marquise will have welcomed that. that opportunity to regroup at half-time wasted no time, as you said rob, I think he had already made up his mind towards the end of the first half about what he was going to do, he certainly knew something had to be done because I've been the one. second best so far, as expected.

Michael Richards has now moved into central defense and the company is occupying a role in front of the back four. There is Ferdinand looking for Park held there by Richard Dunn, who was called by Sean's company. right phillips and here is zabaleta towards benjamin right phillips with a ball through sean right phillips has a more natural and wide role chelsea here in april the last team that prevented manchester city from scoring in a home league game there is the clip of ronaldo as he put it that ball for wayne rooney and here is carrick of alano ireland robinho hilano says it is working a little better now burrito illano parker in the tackle they have a bit of the man so he can act as an intermediary between those midfields players and johnny on the wing guys, he is able to at least hold the ball and allow his teammates to get up to support him.

Well, Michael Richards had a free kick opportunity in the first half that even caught him by surprise, but he stepped up again to take a shot. of the same player javier garrido isla waiting on the edge company benjamin robinio all in the middle of the crowd too and he doesn't reach any of them cleared by fletcher made fletcher again ferdinand now ilano company ireland guiding him on the path of sean wright phillips A few bodies to pass, but in the end he was stopped by the people, but it was not Ferdinand, he just went off for a moment and Robinio took it away and won a corner.

Yes, he was asking his goalkeeper Van der Saad to shout out. Ferdinand didn't know that Lavinia was lurking behind, but he was much better from the city playing a little football in dangerous areas. He had no idea where Levine was. He got another one who had the park breaking to the left of him and that's a brilliant headed ball. for him and the sean wright phillips water recovery challenge what and it's away by garrido for michael carrick really to see that one goes wide not totally disconnected short corner of manchester city even now my new players in the space get away with it yours there city well they could so easily then they wasted their good work at the start of the second half by trading for wayne rooney here's robinhood vincent company that's a totally different story isn't it right now from the first half? many sky blue shirts in and around the support box here there is nothing wrong with a company coup that is more typical of the marquises manchester city making more attempts at the start of the second half we can bet that alex ferguson would have warned his players another fight after that first half of that is reflected in their possession from the beginning here and it's almost ruined for fletcher but garrido was there to clean up hilano materialized ferdinand here is berbatov donkey rabbi zabaleta this is done now donkey don't aim for sean wright phillips well he came up a little short for avignon for raphael there is a little more faith in these games against the city team in the second half, I'm sure the coach would have reminded him of the fact that there were good players here , go ahead and show it, you are now gaining a little more balance in this match. second half of the city, even before marcus's arrival in mid-march, every first division victory for seti here has been immediately followed by a defeat.

They haven't won consecutive league games here since nine in a row at the start of last season, I think it was Marcus Blackburn who ended that run by putting more into his rhythm now Steven Island looking for Benjamin to finish away the united defense that hasn't been addressed too much Seriously so far he could be under more pressure now with Alano to start, but he just doesn't get enough effort to follow him all the way that we've brought him for his attacking qualities, but he really has a chat park when he makes those types of runs.

Wayne Rooney's corner met Richard Dull, he had to deal with that right side, not a splash, no. an easy one, he has rio ferdinand very close, asking a lot to squeeze out of him who has a couple of key goals against manchester united in his career, scored in his debut in that 2-1 victory at old trafford in last February. I already scored against them for Portsmouth earlier in the season, a collision for which the company feels the pain in the second half, a much more even contest. Now I don't want to lose him, although he alone made the difference at the base of that midfield, well, the goal. for Manchester United it came just three minutes from the end of the first half.

It's Wayne Rooney's centenary in his career. It's a wonderful feat for Michael Carrick just to get him away from defenders to give himself space, which was the little touch of love as a striker. getting the same pleasure from them, particularly on such an important occasion, well, he was much berated by the city fans at both ends of this ground as he was the first to step forward to take all the corner kicks so you can understand the pleasure. that he received that goal that he scored in two previous derby victories for Manchester United. The flow of blood from the company's nose is simply stopping, but it wants to return as quickly as possible.

I'm sure Marquise wants him there as quickly as possible. There will also have to be a change of shirt, although Ferdinand is now here the fight in the park between Robinhood and Park Illinois tried to help. It is Berbert Off who emerges with him. There's a wild swing from Alana in the background, well earned by Evra from the right. Phillips fell. a little short for ronaldo he did well to keep that here evra just wanted too much time and now they come back making the entrance a huge shout to which the referee responds and it's a yellow card for Cristiano Ronaldo and sarcastic applause that runs the risk More action from the referee It was a very good defensive play for Sean Knight.

Phillips has worked very hard. He is desperate to recapture Ronaldo's golden side and is not far from the ball. You know if he gets a cut. I'm not sure about the player. I always say that I think he was a bit unlucky, although even if he was unlucky with the ball, maybe with regard to the booking, but maybe a bit lucky because no further action was taken because of his reaction. Here is the park with a cross from Carrick, now also Ronaldo. like the physical treatment I don't think it will discourage him too much here is carrick ilano here is ronaldo here is robinio so far manchester united has just explained his actions here to darren fletcher he felt that he did not make much contact with the brazilian well here is a player in a yellow card and darren fletcher I think they warned him there that he could give the referee a big problem with another infringement he is alone with a good free kick, it has been a frustrating moment until now he has not been able to play football in the type of areas that he I would like to just do them with quick feet, really Fletcher Richards with other ideas, it was a very positive challenge, Ronaldo took on everyone, well, they've certainly been better in this second half, Manchester City, but I'm about to get there.

Any chance so far of seeing more of the ball seemed more confident, but Manchester United will be quite satisfied, I think with the way they have handled this sort of fight, anyway, City are gaining control again. Now there is Rafael, here is Robinho. Facing Richard Dunn, he simply tried to get through the gap between Guerrero and Dunn and escapes here to Atlanta just to stay on his feet. Facing Berbertov, who must be a very difficult customer, he took the kick even though Raphael was not 10 yards away. but that was his choice, I think he was trying to get Raphael in trouble by just hitting him against the right back, he just wasted the ball for them, here's Sean Right Phillips, it's a free kick against Patrice Everett, which makes the referee look for another card. making the manchester united defense work much harder in the second half, well both united full backs are now booked and patrice evra ruled out for the tottenham game, he wasted the last one didn't he, which is a bit wider than this when lana shot high towards the stands but it seems that garuda is going to score a goal woods here with a bit of burrito rhythm quite comfortable in the end four games now manchester united has not conceded a goal since a certainly decisive blow for arsenal here is berbatov ronaldo rooney fletcher back Richard closed down Rooney park and it's a fine line they're treading now, isn't it the city that wants to push more men forward, but the united look more than capable of getting the second here because of the way they are leaving that city? the pass in the waiting movement in the corner, what is the referee's opinion?

He is calling it his way and this means trouble for Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo Howard Webb is taking him out. He was expelled here almost three years ago for a challenge. about andy cole and it's the end for ronaldo it's a second yellow card, he's out well, you never want to get sent off for something so harmless, i know from the letter of the law that it's an intentional handball, as howard webb sees it, they say that received a push in the back rio ferdinand certainly attractive that the portuguese received a push in the back and that is what made him raise his hands in the air well, he is very reluctant to leave the field here Cristiano Ronaldo well, he needs to get out of the Se has shown the red cross.

Well, there wasn't much pushing. What is it? I don't really know what I was doing there. I think he's saying that he heard a whistle, you know? and that's why their arms were raised. He was just making a gesture. fact that he heard a whistle and thought the game had been stopped, butthat's a dangerous game, why not just head it into the net and ask questions later? Well, Sir Alex Ferguson is supposed to be quite measured in what he says about himself initiating an excessive touchline ban after this game for an earlier clash with the referee.

Mike Dean certainly thought he heard a whistle. that's what the left was appealing to, but you can't expect howard webb to entertain that kind of excuse, they didn't push him in the back, you know, i think howard webb thought about it, i think he was reluctant to show the Yellow card at first, but then realized he didn't have much of a chance as an intentional handful here is the company's flag against Benjamin. Well, his team has an advantage, but can they use it to his advantage with 20 minutes left? Wayne Rooney is still talking. The point of that sending off with Howard Webb is the second Manchester United player the referee has sent off this season - Manny Vidic was sent off in United's defeat at Anfield Village.

It's a deep center. Robinio goes for it and Ferdinand clears it. He is already there. This burritos ball company is blocked by Rafael Manchester United's defensive resistance now, isn't it? Isn't it to be expected that City will have a lot of the ball? He just put bourbon in his own way. Wayne Rooney dropped him on the left side now to compensate. Garrido's corner Dunn is there with his head on the roof of the net Well, let's see if we can hear the whistle of a referee who could have convinced Ronaldo There's a whistle later, isn't there? oh yeah, certainly a whistle later I can hear one before it's a very strange One, I mean he's so good in the air now, but why would he try it with his hands?

Here is Ireland by Nemanja Vidic.we expect a bombing of the city now that they have been given encouragement here is vincent company he is far from carrick here is robinho and now we wish it to be done well in raphael bringing some respect with the authorization not only go shooting for everything they have. I have to try to stay in shape and remain a little patient. There is still a long way to go in this match. The company here is Richard Dunn's company looking for Benjamin. Well, Manchester United need to draw out all their reserves of character now that they have lost all their key. men in ronaldo, if you were going to pick a defense to try and hold on to, you'd probably pick manchester united, especially lately with a few clean sheets, aren't they very well on top of each other since that failure of course?

We have played decisions like that together so many times, Richards, the Manchester United section could bite its nails in the last quarter of an hour, in sight of a victory to end their recent pain against City after the two defeats of the year past, but suddenly the result was affected. asks about that red card decision, the second time Cristiano Ronaldo has been sent off in this match, so it's not looking good Richards, the change sees the only Manchester-born player in today's two teams, Dan Sturridge, coming on , so Vincent Company backs off. in the position he started the game in central defense alongside Richard Dunn just gives him that extra attacking player just asking his boss where he wants him next to Benjamin I think he is the answer, forward storage was the man whose penalty sealed that. good win here against arsenal later in the last league with Eastlands here's Carrick to make up for the background that's something about our reporter's expulsion Guy Howard has some news for us yeah that's gone down the tunnel for now hasn't it ?, but he came into our interview area and watched the replays and was absolutely distraught and disbelieving and said I heard a beep, I heard a beep, he can't believe he's been sent off and he finally went back to the locker room, so Ronaldo confirmed that La Initial impression was that I thought maybe he heard the referee's whistle and was returning the ball, but in reality there was no whistle and Howard Webb showed him a second yellow card and a subsequent red.

Here is Rooney, he didn't do it, it was a great opportunity for him ferdinand rooney there is a park now fletcher rafael de silva they have it going from the field manchester united they are players who can keep the ball comfortably in possession only the clock ticks what rooney fletcher rooney company sturridge already did it dan sturridge nothing left to him that is the vacancy left by ronaldo robinho hilano away by raphael possession granted by garrido and zabaleta obtaining the right wayne rooney action to come, of course, chelsea against arsenal live sky sports 1 and hd1 and the build-up starts at 3 30.

Fascinating clash with Chelsea has been so good in the Premier League, not so convincing in the Champions League and the other way around for Arsenal, one would expect Manchester City to try to use the full width from the field here when you have the extra mat, try and stretch your opponents your team has to arrive the runner marquise did not lose his first three league games against manchester united as coach of blackburn he won two in his first full season in charge of the e -wood park here is ilano repinio is there in the middle is taken by edwin van dassar berbetoff just possesses fletcher straightening forward and they keep it together and they have a chance to have the full first isn't that right on the ball the player city ​​number one in the country?

Now they run the risk of having been cautioned before the company here is carrick through the middle towards berbatov john did it but here is rooney just to protect an advantage situation perhaps requires an experienced leader and none with more experience in the united ranks than ryan giggs comes for the last seven minutes plus the stoppage time here frustration the referee has indicated that he stopped the clock while berbatov was leaving his concerts one day after his 35th birthday he is 21 years old and it has been a day since manchester united hired a 14-year-old boy who had been a schoolboy at City That player, Ryan Giggs, who is still searching for his first goal of this season in the Premier League, could just be a matter of holding on to the one Rooney already scored, though for now i almost left him in the city, making bad weather and here is everett at the end for ireland now shawn right phillips ran away from carrick takes him down michael cohen here is garrido hilano paul from the company now robinho is backed by sean right phillips ground everett carrick is there to deny him against rooney giggs just at the right time his career ended up going with him he calmed down very well actually manchester united since losing ronaldo stayed organized at the back he hasn't panicked the ball here it is Raphael well, he's just going to let it be known what he thinks from the sideline the linesman comes up after this game, so if you have to watch what he says, you won't be too happy with some of the interesting decisions to see if he has anything to say to howard webb at the end on the field, an understandable reluctance on United's part to Keep going rooney and co are now just looking to frustrate manchester city into submission.

They have a few minutes left, but so far at least they have felt very comfortable. Manchester United now company Ferdinand who is now Sturridge Milano burrito Robinho little clip looking for revenge. in which city will the hopes of a comeback rest here it is done Ireland and Benjamín both in the area Rafael enters and wins the ball Milano Rafael had to move away Here is the company The company goes directly through the middle At least trying to find Ireland Now Rooney really looked out of his rhythm wins a free kick and that relieves a bit of pressure on Manchester United as injury time approaches here comes the change with Park leaving to be replaced by John O'Shay that's a question for john o'shea now to preserve what manchester united has this john o'shea on the right side of midfield here just to reinforce him there are four additional minutes I still hope that manchester city makes the extra tablecloth here is robinho now sabaletta this is done run blocked by john o' shea burrito again here is elano, take it just a hint of indecision there hasn't been much wrong defensively this afternoon manchester united's decisions are not going the way of the city I thought the great had gone his way when ronaldo left the stage but so far city have failed to exploit the man on richard dunn measuring him for his compatriots stephen ireland belted by rooney here's the company they can find a triple two to overcome this resilient united defense benjamin is away from the island o 'shea climbing looking for a corner getting a corner joe hart wondering if he should go forward mark hughes has told him to make it look likely in the overall game to bring down this united team it's all about attacking the ball if prayers will be answered and it's everywhere outside the field evra line and here is the company and still joe hart has stayed ahead here is the goalkeeper robinho is not sure what to do he is out of position now it is a clear run giggs has rooney on his left two defenders back and hart got there but rooney left because of it oh my god he almost fell for him he just came back well he just knew why moon was going to face this he couldn't resist it and he has the ability to execute it too.

He has Sean White Phillips to do it. help him, but he took care of Joe and just did enough with the risk you take when you go up the corners. I'm sure Phillips won't be enough to clear it. Action typical of Wayne Rooney's vision and he almost falls into the great one. The way the city was urged to make a last-ditch effort, they nearly broke through with this man's close-range attempt. Emperor Richard Dunn thwarted him and here is the company. Richard Dunn again. City fans want their team to get into an attacking position and that could be the last chance that went well.

They haven't had many opportunities for him to have had one of the best and he's still thinking about that Richard in the post. It's a combination of the two. It appears that both remain on. Show some rhythm. Joe Hart Strawberry finishes for both of them. The goalkeepers and Manchester United end the pain of the derby day Wayne Rooney makes them the pride of Manchester despite the expulsion of Cristiano Ronaldo they withstood Rooney's goal in the first half he was about to add the second right at the end with A brilliant improvisation the pre-match stars Rapino and Ronaldo Robinio are the only ones who finished the game, but it is the united ones who end up as winners of the match. manchester city hill manchester united won Can't wait to hear from sir alex ferguson, he will have a lot to say about it.

It is absolutely certain that there will be no goals in any of the other Premier League matches, but when there are, we will tell you about them, let's take a look at what that doesn't change about Manchester City at the bottom of Manchester United and remember the Chelsea. and arsenal is about to kick off, that's where we are on the bridge, manchester united remains third but closes the gap and still plays the
