Manchester United’s six goals to one defeat at the hands of their city rivals Manchester City came as a surprise to many on Sunday afternoon as Sir Alex Ferguson stated in his post match interview that United’s humiliating derby
defeat was his worst day in football as Manchester United’s manager.
Sir Alex put out a young team against Manchester City as Johnny Evans started in central defence along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565 made up the central midfield
pairing for the home side.
However things fell apart for United despite their impressive start to the match when Balotelli scored for City in the first half. Johnny Evans’ sending off was a big factor in United’s capitulation in the second half as City were
relentless in their approach to the match. Sir Alex’s team drew against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 before their loss to City and now they find themselves trailing City by five points in the English Premier League table.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 said, “It was a bad day, our worst ever day. But we’ll come back from that, which is the challenge. The thing that concerned me the most was the goals, for and against."
He added, “We will react. There is no question about that. It’s the perfect result for us to react to because there is a lot of embarrassment in the dressing room today and that will make an impact. I feel disappointed.”
Sir Alex will definitely bring about some changes to Manchester United’s starting line up when the Red Devils’ take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 in a week’s time. The veteran Scotsman will seek a shift in attitude and approach from his players in
order to keep Manchester United’s league campaign on the right track as an away trip to Goodison Park will not be an easy one for Manchester United who threw away a two goal lead against Everton last season on their travels to draw 3-3 in the end when Cahil
and Arteta scored late on to save some grace for the home team.
Sir Alex is expected to invest in a new central midfielder as well when the January transfer window opens to close the divide between his midfield department and that of Manchester City.
