Even though it may only two games into the new season, the Premier League table doesn't lie. Manchester City are top with two wins from two and a goal difference of +6, while Manchester United are bottom with two defeats and a goal difference of -5.
Despite the over-reactions from the other side of Manchester, United will not be relegated this season, and there are still 36 games left to play for. Likewise, City haven't won the league contrary to some onlookers' assertions despite Liverpool's slow start. However, the early six-point gap between United and City is no surprise, and highlights the decade-long journeys of both clubs in the opposite directions.
To highlight how badly managed United have been in the last decade, Sky Sports pundit and former Red Gary Neville used a 'Green - Amber - Red' system to categorise their major signings since 2013. Only two players made it into the green column, with as many as 24 signings deemed failures.
