In the 19th round, he lost to Blackburn 2:3 at home, and in the second round, he lost to Newcastle United 0:3 away. The gap between Manchester United and Manchester City changed from two points to three points, and then to the current six points.

Manchester United is under great pressure.

Since winning the league championship in the 2008-2009 season, Manchester United has never been able to win a league championship again.

The league championship in the 2009-2010 season belonged to Manchester City. Manchester United performed poorly that season and did not even compete for the championship with Manchester City. The Premier League championship that season was produced between Manchester City and Chelsea.

Last season, Manchester United's performance was finally better than last season. At least they were able to compete with Manchester City for the league championship, but they still lost in the end.

This season, they had hope to compete with Manchester City for the championship, but the score difference has now widened...

There are already discussions in the English media whether Ferguson should retire.

In fact, after leading Manchester United to the 2008 Champions League trophy, there were rumors that Ferguson was preparing to retire.

But this preparation took three seasons, and Ferguson is still in the position of Manchester United as coach.

No one knows how long it will take for him to retire.

Before this, most people actually didn't want him to retire.

However, after losing two seasons of the league championship, he has not qualified in the group stage this season in the Champions League. Many people began to think that perhaps Ferguson's retirement is also a good choice.

The world of football is so cruel. No matter how many honors you have won before, it can only represent the past and cannot protect you in the future.

A legendary coach like Ferguson who has made great contributions will also be suggested to retire.

It's really sad.

However, after losing two league games, Ferguson stood up and made a statement. He was responsible for the team's failure in these two games, but he said he would not retire because of this.

"…I said before that I planned to retire, but that was just retirement. I never made it clear about my specific retirement date. Now I feel that I am very good both physically and mentally. I will continue to work for a few more years before watching."

Someone asked him whether the rise of Manchester City would put pressure on him, and he also denied it: "Football needs opponents, Manchester City is a good opponent, and I am very happy to have such an opponent."

A reporter asked about the next FA Cup match.

Because in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester City and Manchester United are about to play.

"We are actively preparing for this game, and the two consecutive losses did not affect anything." Ferguson was not willing to talk more about the FA Cup game.

Everyone thinks Ferguson is a sign of lack of confidence and feels guilty.

After all, when the two teams last played, Manchester City scored six goals at Manchester United's home court at Old Trafford!

It's simply a tragedy.

Logically speaking, this should be a revenge battle for Manchester United, and Manchester United should be very keen to talk about this game.

Both sides should have a big fight before the game.

The players of the two teams sprayed each other and spit at each other.

But this time, not only Ferguson seemed very silent, but other Manchester United players were the same. They would never take the initiative to mention the Manchester City Derby in an interview with reporters.

It's like the next FA Cup game does not exist at all.

Or their opponent in the third round of the FA Cup is not Manchester City, but other irrelevant teams.

Everyone thinks that this may be because after being beaten by Manchester City 6:1 at home, Manchester United was a little guilty and timid when facing Manchester City and was unwilling to mention this painful past.

"…Escape is not a way to solve the problem..." Before the game, the Manchester Evening News commented.

Manchester United did not take the initiative to mention their opponents, but Manchester City is very active. Many people recalled the game they beat Manchester United 6-1 away in the first half of the league.

They naturally knew that this was sprinkling salt on Manchester United's wounds and stabbing them in their hearts.

But as mortal enemies in the city, they want to sprinkle salt on the wounds of mortal enemies and stab the mortal enemies in the hearts.

Manchester City fans also made various 6:1 gestures online and then took selfies to social networks. On the one hand, it was a stunning and provocative one.

But no matter how provoked Manchester City is, Manchester United just doesn't say anything and doesn't respond, just like a turtle shrank.

But when the game really started, everyone realized that Manchester United was not a turtle!

In the third round of the FA Cup, Ferguson sent all the main players without reservation.

The performance of Manchester United players is completely different from that of the league.

The fighting spirit and fighting spirit they showed made Manchester City unexpected.

You should know that this game is Manchester City's home court, but five minutes later, the audience who watched this game felt that this was actually Manchester United's home court...

Manchester United takes the lead!

On the contrary, Manchester City's performance is a bit worrying.

They seemed at a loss when facing Manchester United's fierce pressing.

In the tenth minute, Rooney took the lead for Manchester United.

Manchester United took the lead away!

Just two minutes later, in the 12th minute of the game, Manchester City's main central defender Kompany received a red card due to a flying tackle foul and was sent off the court!

"Oh! It's so bad! Kompany was sent off! Manchester City not only lacks one person, they also lack a central defender!"

"John, this game reminds me of the league in the first half of the season. Manchester City beat Manchester United 6-1 away. I think the turning point of Manchester United's big score collapse was that their central defender Evans was sent off by a red card... Now the same is true for this game. Manchester United away, Manchester City's central defender was sent off..."

"Alan, are you saying that Manchester City may also lose 1:6 at their home court?" John Motterson said.

"That's hard to say. I just think the situation is so similar...even if it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental." Alan Hansen laughed. As a neutral commentator who once played for Liverpool for a long time, he is neither a Manchester City fan nor a Manchester United supporter, so he doesn't care about who wins and who loses the two teams.

※※※

Manchester City, who lacked one person, played very hard in the next game.

?Benitez had to replace Milner, allowing Lucio to come on as a substitute, and replace the gap left by Kompany.

But Lucio did not play a role immediately after he came on the court. After all, he has become a substitute this season, with few opportunities to play, and his physical fitness has also declined significantly, and his performance is not as good as before.

Manchester United seized the opportunity that he had just started to take the field and took a firm foothold, attacking his side. Finally, in the 30th minute, Wilbeck passed the ball to Rooney. Rooney scored twice!

"Rooney! Rooney!! Manchester United is leading two goals! Manchester City, who is one less, is completely at a disadvantage!"

Manchester United fans were cheering deafeningly. Although they were away games, many people also came.

These Manchester United fans probably only have one thought in their minds: the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, good and evil will be rewarded. If you don’t believe it, look up and see who will God bypass!

In the league, Manchester United collapsed because they were sent off a central defender. Now it is Manchester City's turn to be sent off. In this way, Manchester City is not far from the collapse.

Just score another goal!

If they can lead Manchester City in three goals, they will definitely be unable to make a comeback!

※※※

After leading two goals, Manchester United had no intention of stopping, and they continued to launch a fierce attack on Manchester City goal.

In the first half of the league, Manchester City did not intend to stop after leading, and scored six goals in Manchester United. Therefore, Manchester United naturally would not show mercy on Manchester City.

Who said they are the mortal enemies in the city?

The so-called mortal enemy in the same city must be "repaying the enemy".

If you beat me by five goals, I can't beat me by only four goals!

Manchester United, who was completely crazy, scored another goal in the 40th minute. This time the goal was Welbeck, who assisted Rooney before.

After assisting Rooney to score twice, he also scored goals.

"Wilbeck! Weilbeck!! Unbelievable! Manchester United led Manchester City three goals away!" John Motterson's voice showed a clear tone of surprise, and he was indeed shocked.

"It seems that this game is really a revenge for Manchester United... Manchester United is low-key before the game, and it turns out that they are using all their strength in the game... In comparison, Manchester City, who shouted the loudest before the game, performed poorly. They seemed to have never expected Manchester United to fight so hard, and were completely scared by Manchester United's momentum!"

"Before the first half, Manchester City fell three goals behind... Can we say that the game is over?"

"Actually, I think if the opponent in this game is not Manchester United, Manchester City should be able to accept this failure. After all, it is the FA Cup, which is not a very important game for Manchester City. And giving up the FA Cup will also help them compete for the league championship and realize their promise to defend the Champions League title..." Alan Hansen said. "But the problem is that their opponents are Manchester United in this game. In fact, Manchester City is not unacceptable to being eliminated from the FA Cup. In the past two seasons, they have been eliminated from the League Cup and the FA Cup, but neither has hindered their success. They just cannot accept losing to Manchester United..."
