It wasn't supposed to happen like this. On the day Manchester United marked the 50th anniversary of the Munich tragedy, Sir Alex Ferguson's side were supposed to sweep aside their local rivals with a swagger reminiscent of the Busby Babes.
Manchester City were cast in the role of obliging opponents who would turn up and fulfil their duty as cannon fodder for the Premier League champions on an emotional afternoon at Old Trafford which remembered the 23 who died in Munich.

Sir Alex Ferguson faced up to Manchester United's worst start to a season for 15 years and admitted his side cannot afford any more slip-ups if they are to retain the Premier League title.
United have failed to win any of their opening three games and the crisis deepened yesterday as local rivals City condemned them to defeat and went top of the table with a third straight win.

To win the Premiership you need great ability, luck, and bucketloads of character.
At Bolton, Manchester United showed their class; at Anfield their good fortune; and at Manchester City on Saturday their strength of character.

Their World Cup spat was supposed to signal the beginning of the end of their relationship, but Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo's deadly double act is providing the inspiration for Manchester United's relentless title charge.
While the experience of old heads Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes will be crucial to United's hopes of landing a ninth Premiership crown, Sir Alex Ferguson rightly hailed his young stars for their derby destruction of local rivals City.

Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off as Manchester United were given a derby drubbing by Manchester City.
But the Portuguese winger's dismissal was slammed by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Stuart Pearce resisted the temptation to get his own back on Sir Alex Ferguson by telling him to "keep at it" after his rejuvenated Manchester City side thwarted their local rivals.
Almost a decade ago, when Pearce was player-manager of Nottingham Forest, Fergie insulted Pearce with that patronising quip following United's emphatic 4-0 win at the City Ground.

Wayne Rooney won the hearts of Manchester United fans yesterday when he inspired victory over their bitter rivals to keep the title race alive.
On the eve of Valentine's Day, Rooney's love of goal-scoring ensured Chelsea's champagne remains unopened for at least another few weeks.

Think of the great one-sided contests of our times. The Charge of the Light Brigade. The Little Big Horn. The St Valentine's Day Massacre. Half the Bath rugby team against Stan Collymore.
And then add yesterday's 134th Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson tore into his Manchester United flops after their crisis season hit a new low with a crushing derby defeat.
Fergie branded his defenders "sloppy" and conceded the title race to Arsenal after this defeat left United 12 points behind the runaway Premiership leaders.

Gary Neville may have let himself down when he lost control for the first time in his honour-laden career against Manchester City on Saturday.
But when the England right-back was sent off for head-butting Steve McManaman five minutes before half-time, he did those of us lucky enough to be inside Old Trafford a great favour.
