Goalkeeper David de Gea has sent a powerful message to Manchester United's supporters following Sunday's 4-1 defeat to Manchester City, becoming the first United player to break his silence on social media since the game in the process.
Two goals each from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez either side of the half-time interval were enough to record a comfortable victory for City, ensuring they completed a league double over their cross-city rivals. Jadon Sancho brought United level after De Bruyne's fifth-minute opener but that was as good as the afternoon got for them.
City, who have regained a six-point cushion at the top with their latest three-point haul, toyed with United after Mahrez netted his first and his side's third, with 'ole's ringing out from the home fans as they dominated possession. United were woeful in the second-half and failed to register a single shot, highlighting their troubles.
