Manchester United lost 1-0 to Manchester City in a controversial derby, with the only goal of the match scored by Erling Haaland. The incident that decided the result sparked strong protests from the players and coaching staff of the Red Devils.
Michael Carrick, who was taking charge of the team in Ruben Amorim's absence, was very critical of the refereeing performance. The assistant coach considered it unacceptable that, despite Manchester United's efforts to try to help the referees, they continue to make errors that affect game results.
The defeat leaves Manchester United in a delicate position in the Premier League standings, while Manchester City consolidates its position at the top of the English competition. This result worsens the crisis of results that has affected the club in recent weeks.
Haaland's goal, which had already proven decisive in other Manchester derbies, once again became the negative protagonist for United fans, who left indignant with the refereeing team's decisions throughout the match.
