Match

Derby day misery for Manchester United

Losing 0‑3 is one thing; losing to Manchester City in a derby is a wound that takes months to close.

Match

Manchester United through in the cup

A 3‑2 win over Millwall, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

A brace, and Patrick Dorgu takes the afternoon — 8.44

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Patrick Dorgu provided it, and the 8.44 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Leny Yoro at 21 — 7.66

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Leny Yoro did not need any: 7.66, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The dugout

Reece Munro says Manchester United went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Manchester United

Bryan Mbeumo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Youri Tielemans falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Anderson Gutiérrez arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Anderson Gutiérrez has, at Manchester United, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Patrick Dorgu

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

In brief
