Manchester United vs Manchester City in pictures<\/h3>\n

Pep Guardiola has rubbed salt in Manchester United wounds by revealing the secret to Manchester City’s success after Sunday’s 3-0 win at Old Trafford. City cruised to victory in the 191st Manchester derby, continuing their era of dominance while the sense of crisis intensified at their rivals.<\/p>\n

United were outclassed – a common sight against City across the last decade – as Erling Haaland netted a brace before Phil Foden added a third.<\/p>\n

It leaves Erik ten Hag’s side with zero convincing wins and seven defeats in their first 13 Premier League and Champions League games this season.<\/p>\n

Ownership uncertainty, fuelled by the Glazer family’s lack of communication and indecisiveness, continues to plague every corner of the club despite a resolution to an 11-month ‘takeover’ saga seemingly on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Since losing Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill’s genius in 2013, United have primarily been a club in disarray, with the owners wanting one thing and everyone else hoping for another.<\/p>\n

It’s a stark contrast to over at the Etihad Stadium. Owner Sheikh Mansour has made the right appointments and had the desire to form a legacy at City and improve the Manchester area.<\/p>\n

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, director of football Txiki Begiristain and chief executive Ferran Soriano all work with the purpose of meeting Guardiola’s vision.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Glazers’ regime has focused on commercial success, neglecting much sporting responsibility. Chief executive Richard Arnold isn’t a ‘football person’, nor was his predecessor Ed Woodward.<\/p>\n

Football director John Murtough’s track record before his role at United isn’t exactly illustrious. The fact he and Arnold have handed Ten Hag almost full control over transfers – to little success – tells you all you need to know.<\/p>\n

And Guardiola produced a damning assessment of why City are not levels but leagues ahead of United with little sign of change under the clubs’ respective hierarchies.<\/p>\n

“But I didn’t expect it. Honestly, when I arrived here, it was Jose Mourinho, with Ibrahimovic, with top, top players, Lukaku, I’ve had the feeling the squad is really [strong],” Guardiola explained.<\/p>\n

“But I think I’ve said many times we [City] are in the same direction \u2013 the chairman, the CEO, the sporting director, the manager and the players. We go there, wrong or right, it doesn’t matter, we [all] go there.<\/p>\n

“We make mistakes, of course, when we lose, or the situation is not going well; we are not here to blame someone; it’s just, ‘okay, what do we have to do better? What happened? Is the opponent getting better, or are we getting worse?’<\/p>\n
