Manchester United lost 1-0 to Manchester City in a controversial derby, with the solitary goal of the match scored by Erling Haaland. The incident that decided the result generated 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.
