September 2025: City's dominant derby victory
Manchester City cruised to a 3-0 victory over Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium in September 2025, with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden once again proving the Red Devils' tormentors. Phil Foden opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a superb header from Jérémy Doku's cross - his seventh Premier League goal against United.
Haaland doubled the lead in the 53rd minute, lifting the ball over Altay Bayindir after excellent combination play involving Foden and Doku. The Norwegian striker added his second in the 69th minute, racing clear onto Bernardo Silva's through ball after Harry Maguire's wayward pass was intercepted. Haaland also struck the post after rounding the goalkeeper, demonstrating his clinical finishing.
The match also marked Gianluigi Donnarumma's Premier League debut for City, with the Italian goalkeeper making a brilliant save to deny Bryan Mbeumo. Foden dedicated the victory to boxing legend Ricky Hatton, a lifelong City fan who had passed away that week.
This was United's poorest start to a Premier League season since 1992-93, with just four points from four games. 15 of the last 17 Premier League goals scored by City against United have been scored by either Haaland (8) or Foden (7).
Key players to watch
Manchester United's star players
Bruno Fernandes: The Portuguese captain remains United's creative heartbeat, pulling the strings from midfield with his vision and set-piece delivery.
Bryan Mbeumo: Signed from Brentford for £71m in summer 2025, the Cameroonian forward has formed a promising partnership with Benjamin Sesko in attack.
Benjamin Sesko: The Slovenian striker arrived from RB Leipzig and offers excellent hold-up play and physical presence leading the line for Amorim.
Amad Diallo: The young winger has been a bright spark, notably scoring the dramatic late winner in the December 2024 derby at the Etihad.
Manchester City's key players
Erling Haaland: The Norwegian goal machine has scored 8 Manchester derby goals in the Premier League, equalling Wayne Rooney and Sergio Agüero's records in the fixture.
Phil Foden: The Stockport-born midfielder has 7 Premier League goals against United and consistently delivers in derby matches.

Rodri: The Spanish World Cup winner returned from ACL injury to anchor City's midfield with his composure and tactical intelligence.
Manchester United's {current_season} season
Manchester United are navigating a challenging season under Ruben Amorim, who arrived in November 2024 and became the first United manager to win his first Manchester derby since Alex Ferguson (December 2024, 2-1 at the Etihad).
The club underwent significant squad changes in summer 2025. Key signings include Matheus Cunha (£62.5m from Wolves), Bryan Mbeumo (£71m from Brentford), and Benjamin Sesko (from RB Leipzig). Several players departed, including Marcus Rashford (Barcelona loan), Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea), Rasmus Højlund (Napoli loan), and André Onana (Trabzonspor loan).
Amorim employs his trademark 3-4-2-1 formation, with the focus on developing young talents like Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Leny Yoro, and Patrick Dorgu alongside experienced campaigners.
Manchester City's {current_season} season
Manchester City are chasing their eighth Premier League title under Pep Guardiola after a trophy-less 2024-25 campaign. The squad underwent significant changes in summer 2025, with Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, and Ederson departing.
New arrivals include Tijjani Reijnders (AC Milan), Rayan Cherki (Lyon), Rayan Aït-Nouri (Wolves), and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG). Bernardo Silva has taken over as captain, and the team has shown resilience in bouncing back from early season setbacks.
