da winzada777： As Manchester collided and City took on United, you could have been forgiven for expecting a glamorous, high scoring, end to end game.
da 888casino： Alas, that is not we got, as the two titans of English football played out a stalemate in front of a packed out Old Trafford, as the blue side of the city returned to the top of the Premier League.
With so many attacking players, bought for huge money, on display – it was perhaps odd that neither side could force a way through.
Jesse Lingard and Chris Smalling came close late on for the hosts, though the crossbar and Joe Hart kept them at bay respectively.
£49m man Raheem Sterling was excellent in last outing against Bournemouth, but failed to replicate his heroic form and was hooked less than minutes after half-time for Jesus Navas.
Red Devils captain Wayne Rooney continued to struggle, and Juan Mata was largely ineffective.
Here are THREE other things we learned in a defensive masterclass.
OTAMENDI ISN’T COMPLETELY RUBBISH
The Argentine arrived this summer for around £33m, but had so far been unable to prove just why the Etihad outfit shelled out such a stellar fee for him. Until now.
Reportedly a Manchester United target over the summer, the 27-year old looked pure class next to returning captain Vincent Kompany as they kept the slightly better Red Devils at bay.
A physically imposing, fiery defender, he looks right at home and in good Kompany next to Vincent….
KEVIN DE BRUYNE IS NOT INVINCBLE
The Belgian ace has been a revelation since his £55m from Wolfsburg this summer, scoring five goals and registering four assists.
However, Marcos Rojo kept him at bay all afternoon. The former Chelsea man was unable to pop up in the pockets that are so hard to mark, and Rojo figured out a way of playing against him.
Whether he was drifting out wide or cutting inside, the Belgian was easily dealt with.
WE KNOW LITERALLY NOTHING ABOUT ANTHONY MARTIAL
Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is a completely unknown quantity. After capturing the hearts and imaginations of so many fans for his goal scoring exploits, the 19-year old has been placed out wide.
He keeps surprising us. The ball through to Lingard in order to tee him up for his chance was unbelievable. The Frenchman is showing new sides to his game week in, week out.
