Manchester United suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat against Manchester City 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). Having lost two of their first four games, Manchester United fell to 14th place in the league.

Early in the second half, the trend of the game clearly tilted to Manchester City. Manchester City made a momentary attack from the left in the eighth minute of the second half. Doku stabbed Holan. After overcoming Shaw's check, Holan's calm finish made Manchester City 2-0.
Manchester United quickly collapsed. Manchester City's attack immediately followed as Manchester United's rear build-up was cut off in the game that followed after the loss. Manchester United managed to overcome the crisis as Holan failed to finish in a perfect chance.
Manchester United were hampered by mistakes. In the 24th minute of the second half, Harry Maguire's pass was cut off, and Holan's run began. Manchester City led by three goals as Holan, who received Silva's pass, finished lightly. In the 30th minute of the second half, Rhinders' one-on-one chance was created in Manchester City's counterattack, which started with Holan. However, Rhinders' shot missed and no additional goal came out. Manchester City easily laughed in the Manchester derby as the match ended as it was.

Manchester City, on the other hand, started the season anxious with consecutive losses to Tottenham and Brighton, and was concerned about the Manchester derby due to a series of injuries, but laid the foundation for a rebound by overpowering Manchester United.
