Sir Alex Ferguson's reaction to Man City's thrashing of Man Utd speaks volumes

Sir Alex Ferguson cut a miserable figure from the Etihad director's box after Manchester United were on the wrong end of a 6-3 thumping against Manchester City.

The United legend is a regular presence at Red Devils games both at Old Trafford and on the road. Ferguson didn't need to travel particularly far for Sunday's contest, though looking back he may have preferred to stay at home as Pep Guardiola's side ran riot in the derby.

Both Erling Haaland and Phil Foden bagged hat-tricks, with the scoreline 4-0 in City's favour before the half-time whistle. The pair had a brace each by that stage, before United's marquee summer signing Antony restored some pride with a wondergoal early on in the second-half.
