Premier League: Manchester United and Manchester City shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw in Sunday’s Premier League derby at Old Trafford. The result leaves Pep Guardiola’s City in fifth place with 52 points, just behind fourth-placed Chelsea, while United remain in 13th on 38 points.
Few Chances in a Low-Key First Half
The first half lacked intensity, with neither side creating many clear chances. Under the bright Manchester sun, the two rivals seemed cautious, with most of the play confined to midfield battles.
Second Half Brings More Action
The tempo improved after the break. City forward Omar Marmoush tested United keeper Andre Onana with a fierce 25-yard strike, forcing a brilliant diving save.
United responded with their best chance through Joshua Zirkzee. The striker turned sharply and fired a half-volley that made Ederson stretch for a superb two-handed save.
Goalkeepers Steal the Show
While the attackers failed to find the net, goalkeepers Ederson and Onana stood out, each making key saves to deny their opponents in crucial moments.
