Haaland strike gives Man City 1-0 win over Man United after Foden sent off
- On Sunday, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, with Erling Haaland scoring in the 59th minute following a VAR review that overturned an initial offside call. Phil Foden's red card in the 23rd minute left City with 10 men.
- United manager Michael Carrick faced criticism for failing to capitalize on numerical superiority, while Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca effectively adjusted his squad at halftime to control the match. Carrick's tactical inflexibility proved costly against 10-man City.

- The defeat leaves United with four points from four games, underscoring the widening chasm between the rivals since Pep Guardiola's 2016 arrival and raising questions about the hierarchy's two-year commitment to Carrick.
