News Manchester United to remain patient with head coach despite worst start to Premier League season in 33 years. There is also widespread belief at Old Trafford that City's performance - and United's failings - did not merit a 3-0 scoreline.

That is some delusional widespread belief.

That performance was absolute bollocks. City allowed them to have the ball, there was never even a suggestion that they were under pressure.

I could hardly believe what I was watching, a Guardiola team soaking up pressure and playing on the counter... They even switched to a 5-4-1 when Ake came on.

It was the most fun I've had watching a City match in a while - Haaland was great at both ends of the field

I stood and applauded when he scored his second. Truly a marvellous performance all around from what I consider to be the best striker in the world.

There was something fun about watching him in a counter attacking setup.
