Manchester United and Manchester City played to a barren draw in Sunday’s derby clash at Old Trafford.

The match lacked attacking flair, with both sides failing to produce many clear chances, especially in a subdued first half.

United showed slight improvement after the break, pressing higher and creating opportunities, but poor finishing kept them from converting their dominance into goals.

Manchester City also had chances, with forward Omar Marmoush denied twice by a sharp André Onana.

The result leaves Manchester City in fifth place with 52 points, just one behind fourth-placed Chelsea. Pep Guardiola’s side missed a chance to break into the top four as they approach the final stretch of the season.

Manchester United remain in 13th place with 38 points after the draw. Despite having more shots and possession in the second half, Erik ten Hag’s side failed to make the breakthrough.

André Onana was a standout performer for United, recording six saves to keep City at bay. His efforts helped secure a point in what was the first goalless Manchester derby since 2020.

Following the match, United fans staged a protest at Old Trafford over ownership and ticket pricing issues.

The teams will now focus on their upcoming fixtures as the race for European qualification intensifies.
