April 06, (THEWILL) – The Manchester derby concluded with a scoreless draw at Old Trafford on Sunday, leaving both teams reflecting on missed opportunities.

Neither Manchester United nor Manchester City could break the deadlock in a fixture that improved significantly after half-time following a tepid opening period.

Both sides created notable chances during the second half, with City midfielder Phil Foden and United striker Joshua Zirkzee coming closest to scoring.

However, neither player managed to convert their opportunities into the decisive goal that would have claimed victory for their respective teams.

The result sees Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United climb to 13th position in the English Premier League table, moving above Tottenham Hotspur who had earlier defeated Southampton 3-1.

For United supporters, the point represents modest progress amid their challenging 2024/2025 campaign.

City will view the outcome with disappointment as they missed the chance to move into the UEFA Champions League qualification places.

Pep Guardiola’s team remain in fifth position, one point behind Chelsea and two points ahead of Newcastle United, with the latter holding two games in hand over their competitors.

The match ultimately reflected the current standings of both Manchester clubs, with United working to rebuild under their Portuguese manager while City continued their push toward the upper echelons of the table during this challenging season and the injuries they are grappling with.
