Antony, a Brazilian winger, entered the game in the 75th minute, replacing Rashford. Unfortunately, he failed to make a positive impact on the game. Midfielder Sofyan Amrabat substituted for Kobbie Mainoo in the final eight minutes and was directly involved in City’s third goal, losing possession to Rodri, who then assisted Erling Haaland’s goal.
Man Utd Sixth Position
Following this defeat, Man Utd currently stands in the sixth position in the Premier League table, trailing 11 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. Despite this setback, manager Erik ten Hag remains optimistic about the team’s chances of securing a place in the next season’s Champions League.
Ten Hag stated in a post-match interview, “It can be a quick turnaround. We go to another final against Everton next Saturday and try to get closer. We have to go for it. We have to win our games. The fifth position can also be a position for the Champions League, so we have to fight for it. This year, we are progressing, and you have to get some points back. Everyone can beat everyone.”
