Manchester United collapsed disastrously again in the `Manchester Derby.' Manchester United was completely defeated 0-3 in the fourth round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 15th (Korea time).
Manchester United lost 0-1 to Arsenal in the first round last month. After drawing 1-1 with Fulham in the second round, he beat Burnley 3-2 in the third round to secure his first win of the season.
There was also a big shock between the second and third rounds. An extraordinary event that was caught by fourth-division Grimsby Town and eliminated in the second round of the League Cup was reduced to a scapegoat. United lost 11-12 in the shootout after a 2-2 draw.
After the A-match break, the EPL resumed. Manchester United wiped away the tears again. Four points (1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses) in the fourth round of the EPL is the worst start in 33 years since the 1992-1993 season.
United's current position is 14th. 'Opta' predicted a 10.95% chance of Manchester United being relegated after the crushing defeat. It was more than twice as likely to advance to the European Champions League (4.18 percent) next season.

Holan put Manchester United to bed with consecutive goals in the 8th and 13th minutes of the second half. He scored five goals in four games, and immediately became the top scorer in the EPL. On the other hand, Manchester United did not score a goal against Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who made his debut.
Danny Murphy, a Liverpool and Tottenham native who works as a columnist for the UK 'BBC', pointed out that 'Manchester United's problem is people, not systems'. He feels like he repeats the same thing every time he talks about the matter of Manchester United, but the same thing keeps happening. They're making the same mistake, and it's not that hard to stop it either,' he began.
And since head coach Ruben Amorim took the helm of Old Trafford last season, he has emphasized the problem with the 3-4-2-1 formation. Now the whole team looks stronger in offensive or defensive situations. The gap between the defense lines has also become much narrower, making it more difficult to break through' but 'Unfortunate for Amorim is that he makes a stupid mistake in the course of losing points and loses points. This is not a problem with the system itself, but rather due to the problem of selecting players and placing players in the wrong position.

Murphy says 'It's not a ridiculous idea to put Fernandez in that position at all. He has an excellent ability to find the player in front of him through penetration passes from deep. He is technically mature and has excellent ability to handle the ball. But the question is what happens without it. A player with that level of intelligence could learn to respond more actively in defensive situations, but obviously not.
He also said 'If it happens frequently, you can't play that role. It is very rare for players to change their minds a lot on the field, saying, 'The coach needs to put in players who can perform the role better.'" If there is no such balance, we will continue to face difficulties.'
But change doesn't seem easy. Manager Amorim was able to avoid those runs. That was the biggest difference. On the other hand, we didn't score in a transition situation. It should be perfect in a game like this, but it wasn't perfect. The frustration is the same because there were many chances to score a goal. We need to prepare more for the next game."
Fernandes also "The results were very bad. Man City were wise to score that way. They have a very good team and good players," he added. There is no way out of Manchester United.
