Manchester United and Manchester City performed out an anticlimactic 0-0 Premier League draw on Sunday in a low-key derby that dealt a blow to City’s bid for Champions League qualification.

Pep Guardiola’s group are fifth in the desk on 52 factors, one behind Chelsea, and United are languishing in thirteenth place on 38.

With either side struggling by tough campaigns, neither created many clearcut possibilities, significantly in a colorless first half at a sun-drenched Old Trafford.

The recreation picked up after the interval and City striker Omar Marmoush unleashed a blistering shot from 25 yards that pressured United goalkeeper Andre Onana right into a terrific save.

Joshua Zirkzee had United’s greatest alternative halfway by the second half when he turned and struck a half-volley that pressured City keeper Ederson into an impressive two-handed save.
