Manchester City cruised past Manchester United with embarrassing ease in the derby at Old Trafford to emphasise the vast gulf between the two sides.<\/p>\n
Erling Haaland was the main tormentor with goals in each half before setting up a third for Phil Foden as Pep Guardiola\u2019s side established superiority from the kick-off and rarely looked like relinquishing control.<\/p>\n
There were poignant scenes before the start as supporters from both sides of Manchester\u2019s footballing divide joined to pay tribute to the late Sir Bobby Charlton.<\/p>\n

For manager Erik ten Hag and his players, the match that followed was one to forget.<\/p>\n
Haaland put City ahead from the penalty spot after 26 minutes when Rasmus Hojlund was penalised for dragging down Rodri following the intervention of the video assistant referee.<\/p>\n
United keeper Andre Onana produced a brilliant save to deny Haaland a second from a far-post header on the stroke of half-time but the striker did not have to wait long to double City\u2019s lead from an almost identical situation four minutes after the break, Bernardo Silva delivering a perfect cross.<\/p>\n
City keeper Ederson also excelled to save from Scott McTominay before half-time but City wrapped up this most convincing victory when Haaland set up the easiest of chances for Foden 10 minutes from time.<\/p>\n
