I don't care if it's the first half he needs to make changes. This could be a disgrace

klose

On a plate.! Think mou could do with swinging the axe and pull some players before half time.

bur

Ouch. If i conceded a goal like that in FIFA i'd be crying about scripting.

HalloweenJack

Iheanacho again. Those reactions and his footballing intelligence are what make him a special player.

Mars Bar

Easy call for the linesman really.

City will win the league if this is how they play after three games under Guardiola

Slattsy

Who will Mourinho blame though?

CSF

This could legitimately be a hammering. City have been immense.

Can't believe Jose sold De Bruyne. Best player on the pitch by miles.

Already is a disgrace.

Yeah without a doubt, totally outclassing Utd. How the hell are they allowing De Bruyne so much space in the box? Every time a Utd player has the ball he's harried and hassled into giving up possession, when City have the ball all the Utd players stand off.

It's just a question of class so far.

Heading for another Manita for Pep v Mou.

United have been all over the place at the back.

Lingard off

GreNoLi

Game over, Guardiola deserves the lavish praise that AIG will no doubt provide.

El Horseboxo

De Bruyne turns about 5 United players there for that cross.

Can see this City team picking up loads of injuries this year. I know they won't need this pace every week. But there's some amount of work ethic out there.

ThunbergsAreGo

This is a fantastic performance by City, well worth the two goal lead

hadepsx

Delightful

niallo27

His reaction looks as if he was sure he was offside

5starpool

It's too early to say game over, far, far to early for that,but Utd will have to certainly improve. If City decide to sit back a bit though it will change the dynamic of the game entirely.

Will Fellaini be moved back to CF again, or does Ibrahimovic remove the need for that tactic?

He's so good it's frightening. And he's relatively underhyped too, which could work well for him.

Reality check in progress today, we look appalling.

GavRedKing

Lingard nees to be taken off. Hes brutaal.

City have been fantastic.

Zlatan isn't up to much.

Not too early to say it's over, United have no foothold in this game, were this a boxing match the ref would have stopped it by now.

JaMarcusHustle

Armenian is laughably bad. I'm so surprised how awful he is.

RobbingBandit

Masterclass going on here ibra has been neutralized defense is nowhere to be seen. Pogba looks lost. We need a miricle.

super_furry

United, if they're to have any chance, need to get more compact at the back and in the middle and bring on Martial and Rashford, to kill City on the break. Said in the build-up but City play such a high line that their pace could really catch them.

Pep would have been delighted to see that United were starting with Rooney and Ibrahimovic - they're a front line with a combined age of 64 and look every inch of it.

tayto lover

City look awesome and with Kompany and Aguerro to return it's ominous for the rest.

Classic Rooney

jimmytwotimes 2013

Mourinho normally plays extra body in midfield for big games. Probably reluctant to do so today given united are known for attack rather than being cagey.

But De Bruyne finding acres of room in between midfield and United's defence. A holding player might have closed that gaping hole.

BenK

Men against boys so far. United as bad as anything under Moyes and LVG.

A very satisfying first half so far . Enjoyable to watch.

Harry Palmr

Oh dear! Game on.

YES! Come on. That's laughable goalkeeping! :pac:

Agent Coulson

Zlatan does nothing all game then does what Zlatan does game on.

Johner

So undeserved, shocking goalkeeping.

super_furry

Joe Hart will be watching that with a smile on his face. Absolute gift from Bravo, shocking stuff.

Burial.

United maybe falling victim of their own hype.

jimmytwotimes 2013

Horse it on top of Bravo lads!!

Bobby Baccala

Rooney has given it away a good few times now

JaMarcusHustle

Joe Hart pissing himself laughing over his lasagne.

Ibra is out his depth they said
Haha

LuckyGent88

Finish of doom

GreNoLi

Someone's a happy camper in Turin, good finish.
