16 Nov
Summary
- Manchester United manager Marc Skinner insists City "not that far ahead" despite 3-0 loss
- United registered zero shots on target and struggled to generate any attacking threat
- Defeat comes just 3 days after historic 2-1 Champions League win over PSG
On November 13, 2025, Manchester United suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat to local rivals Manchester City in a highly anticipated derby match. The loss has left United's title hopes in serious jeopardy, with the team struggling to generate any meaningful attacking threat throughout the game.
Despite the humbling scoreline, United manager Marc Skinner delivered a surprisingly defiant assessment, insisting that Manchester City were "not that far ahead" of his side. However, the statistics tell a different story, with United failing to register a single shot on target over the 90 minutes.
The shocking performance comes just three days after United's historic 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Women's Champions League at Old Trafford. That result had raised hopes of a potential title challenge, but this latest defeat has left those aspirations hanging by a thread.
As United look to regroup and refocus, the pressure will be on Skinner and his players to bounce back quickly and regain their form. With the title race now wide open, the coming weeks and months could prove crucial in determining the final outcome.
