At the Etihad Stadium, Man Utd had a nightmare afternoon when they were defeated 0-3 by Man City. In which, Haaland "sowed sorrow" for the Red Devils when he contributed a double.

Man Utd's attack was almost harmless throughout the 90 minutes, except for a rare situation in the second half when Bryan Mbeumo volleyed a shot that forced goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to show his talent in saving.
Meanwhile, the club's defense witnessed too many mistakes. Among them, two stars Luke Shaw and Manuel Ugarte were considered the club's black spots. Luke Shaw had a bad pass directly to Haaland's feet, allowing the Norwegian striker to run down unhindered to score, raising the score to 3-0. Before that, this player also could not keep up with Haaland in the situation that led to the Red Devils' second goal.
Meanwhile, Manuel Ugarte was poor at escaping the pressure. This player repeatedly put his teammates in difficult situations. The Uruguayan star's ability to launch attacks was also not good.
The personnel adjustments from coach Amorim were ineffective, on the contrary, making the team more disjointed. In the last 20 minutes, Man City continuously penetrated and if they had finished more accurately, they could have made their opponents lose even more.

After the match, Man Utd fans expressed their anger on social media, most of which was directed at the two stars, Shaw and Urgate. One angry fan wrote: “Ugarte and Luke Shaw are shameful names.” Another asserted: “I beg coach Amorim not to start Urgate anymore.”
Many comments were also aimed at the England left-back: “Luke Shaw played badly. I don’t understand why he is still on the field.” Another account added: “Luke Shaw is only kept in the field because he is left-footed. When pushed into a position where he is not comfortable, he is clumsy.”
Before Kobbie Mainoo came on for Noussair Mazraoui, one fan said harshly: “I’ve had enough of Ugarte. Bring Mainoo on.”
With only 4 points after 4 rounds, Man Utd is currently ranked 14th on the rankings. Notably, this weekend, the Red Devils continue to face a difficult challenge named Chelsea. According to predictions, this could be the match that decides the fate of coach Amorim at Old Trafford.
