After Manchester City’s dominant performance against Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium, social media exploded with reactions.

The match saw a stunning lead from Marcus Rashford for the visitors, but it quickly turned into one-way traffic as Manchester City came back to win 3-1.

Phil Foden’s brace and a late Erling Haaland goal sealed the victory for Pep Guardiola’s side, completing the league double over United for the season.

Social media was abuzz with praise for Manchester City’s performance, with many highlighting the unbeaten streak of Rodri and the goal-scoring prowess of Haaland and Foden against Manchester United.

Fans were particularly pleased with Haaland’s interaction with the South Stand, asking them to start the Poznan celebration.

Really really into this new trend of Phil Foden and Haaland destroying United together. Just two blues doing their thing.

Manchester United will probably be praised in certain quarters for showing great spirit in the derby. The reality is they were like a lower league team in a cup game. Brave, blocks and all that but they are not in the same stratosphere as Manchester City… miles behind
