Manchester United suffered yet another setback in the English Premier League.
The football record champions had no chance at home in the derby against Manchester City on Saturday, had no ideas and deservedly lost 2-0 (0-2) against their local rivals.
So coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has been criticized for a long time, has to tremble more than ever about his job.
The Red Devils showed a poor performance in front of their own audience at Old Trafford.
The team around superstar Cristiano Ronaldo fell behind early on due to an own goal by Eric Bailly (7th minute).
Shortly before half-time, Bernardo Silva (45th) increased for the superior Cityzens of coach Pep Guardiola.
The hosts acted too harmlessly in the second half and after the substitutions of the former Dortmund professional Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Donny van de Beek.
United goalkeeper David de Gea prevented an even bigger derby defeat for his team.
Most recently, things seemed to be going up again for Man United.
After the hefty 5-0 home defeat against Liverpool, Solskjaer's team won 3-0 at Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday and won 2-2 at Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League during the week.
But now the record champions are losing ground in the league table.
