The Dutchman has a lot to ponder going into the first Manchester derby of the season. How many goals do you think Erling Haaland will score? Who do you think should start? So will Ten Hag set his side up to sit back and counter or will he hope his side can get on the ball a lot more? GO FURTHER

Silva hangs up a cross for Haaland, his header is blocked, De Gea thwarts De Bruyne from the rebound and Silva has his own strike blocked in the goalmouth. He has the luxury of being able to field a winning team once again with the minimum of fuss. Marcus Rashford netted twice in the Arsenal win before being withdrawn due to a hamstring injury. Rashford then takes his turn to give the ball straight back to City, Foden runs Malacia and both United full-backs are now on yellow cards. A combination of Eriksen (!) and McTominay certainly didn't and his near-post header was over the line before Malacia intervened. One of the things to recommend about this United display was they were keeping Haaland quiet. Varane, who left the pitch and returned to the eye of a hurricane can do nothing as Haaland slides in behind him to extend City's lead. De Bruyne storms through midfield threads it down the left for Haaland, who arrows a ball back across goal for Foden to finish. He's sort of in that right channel he likes but it's still a pass he has no right to make. United's threat on the counter-attack was supposed to be a factor today and they've been ripped apart by one. Gundogan sends a lively backpass to Ederson, who volleys the ball skywards. Silva slides a pass for Haaland, who thumps into the side-netting at the near post.
"It's like the game is too big for United. Like some of the players have been overwhelmed by the occasion. Pride, personality, they are not showing it.".
“If the club just depends on Pep then the club is not doing really well in this period. “If you change managers and players a lot it is more difficult. Said Guardiola: “When a club depends on one person they have problems because the club is not solid. The foundation of the club is why the team is solid. “The club knows exactly what is the target and the next step,” said Guardiola. He was recently filmed walking down a street by a United fan who told him he had moved to the city’s wrong club and had a shop to Sainsburys documented by a national newspaper. The challenge facing Manchester United is still considerable but there's a lot of disruption there to be spine of Manchester City's team. City with a dangerous thrust down the left, the ball is crossed. That is just how it is in my world now, and I can’t complain about anything.” There's the big man sliding it at the far post for a nicely controlled finish and City have their third. Goes through the United defence like a knife through butter, cuts it back for Phil Foden, whose shot is wide. Grealish, in the inside left channel, is given the ball by Haaland and should probably have shot.
Not a single celebration from Manchester United as bringing the match within 6-2 isn't anything that the team should be happy about. Pep Guardiola will be ...

Haaland now has 14 Premier League goals as he takes his scoring streak in all competitions to eight consecutive matches for City.

Manchester City reign over United, Barcelona leapfrog Real Madrid, and Liverpool are looking out of sorts. It's ESPN's Weekend Review.
Combined with [Erling Haaland](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/253989/Erling-Haaland), [Kevin De Bruyne](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134947/Kevin-De-Bruyne) and [Jack Grealish](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/172850/Jack-Grealish), he helped tear United apart, particularly during a devastating first 45 minutes. [Conor Gallagher](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/266696/Conor-Gallagher) to score his first [Chelsea](/soccer/team/_/id/363/chelsea) goal. [Phil Foden](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/250787/Phil-Foden)'s was the best of the bunch. [Leroy Sane](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/202641/Leroy-Sané) and [Jamal Musiala](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/303821/Jamal-Musiala) scored under little duress inside the opening 20 minutes before [Sadio Mane](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/169797/Sadio-Mané) added a third before half-time to really snuff out any hope of a competitive game. They are currently third in the Ligue 1 table, only one point behind [Marseille](/soccer/team?id=176) in second and three behind [Paris Saint-Germain](/soccer/team?id=160) at the top. [VfB Stuttgart](/soccer/team?id=134) this season, especially after scraping their way to a 16th-place finish in the Bundesliga last year, followed by a modest transfer window. [Leicester City](/soccer/team?id=375) fan right now and they'd happily swap their situation at the bottom of the Premier League for the problems that Liverpool are experiencing -- but no team in the Premier League, and arguably in any major European league, is underperforming quite like the Reds this season. They have numerous problems, among them that [Romelu Lukaku](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/139437/Romelu-Lukaku) is still not back from injury and [Samir Handanovic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/44323/Samir-Handanovic)'s goalkeeping ability has diminished as we saw on the first goal. [Atletico Madrid](/soccer/team?id=1068) academy product who shone on loan at Mirandes in the Segunda Division last season and is already excelling, having taken a step up with another loan at Girona this campaign. Meanwhile, [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) and [Internazionale](/soccer/team?id=110) are all out of sorts. Mane, the former Liverpool forward, had a second disallowed due to a foul, but [Thomas Muller](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/123465/Thomas-Müller) would round out the easiest of games. [to seal a narrow 1-0 win](/soccer/spanish-laliga/story/4758702/lewandowski-shines-for-barcelona-again-in-win-over-mallorca) to leapfrog Madrid courtesy of their superior goal difference.
