Premier League news

Jack Grealish joined Wayne Rooney in paying emotional tribute to British boxing legend Ricky Hatton who passed away aged just 46. Former world champion Hatton was found dead at his home in Hyde in Tameside, Greater Manchester on Sunday morning by the police. Hatton was a life-long City fan and he used the club's Blue Moon song to walk out for bouts.

Wayne Rooney highlighted a "powerful" bad omen for Ruben Amorim after Manchester United's humiliating defeat in the derby against Manchester City on Sunday. As the Cityzens dominated the game, a section of the visiting United fans were spotted leaving the Etihad Stadium in disappointment. The Red Devils have now lost two out of their first four matches and are 14th in the Premier League.

Matthijs de Ligt has been backed to recover from his shaky Manchester United spell by Red Devils legend Jaap Stam, amid Ruben Amorim's struggle at Old Trafford. De Ligt, who joined United from Bayern Munich last summer, has yet to live up to the expectations. In the current season, the Dutch centre-back has appeared in each one of Red Devils' matches across all competitions.

That first international break of the season always comes at just the wrong time. With teams starting to get into the groove as they switch from pre-season to competitive action, and with the final new signings of the summer arriving on deadline day, that Premier League fans had to wait two weeks to see their teams in action was almost a travesty. Fortunately, that wait is now over.

Wayne Rooney has shown that you never lose it, with the Manchester United and England legend rolling back the years in an exhibition game. The Red Devils’ all-time leading goal-scorer lined up alongside and against a collection of international superstars in the Nexon Icons Match, with the target found with a spectacular strike.

Manchester City were forced to take action after a worker was spotted wearing a Manchester United shirt while serving pints at the Etihad Stadium on derby day. A fan on social media shared the image of the member of staff and brought it to the club's attention, and City swiftly 'removed' the person from their position. On the pitch, the Cityzens demolished their rivals 3-0 courtesy of a brace from Erling Haaland.

Erling Haaland helped Manchester City to cook arch-rivals Manchester United on derby day at the Etihad Stadium, with the Norwegian striker celebrating that success in style. The prolific frontman has revealed that he toasted picking up three precious points with a barbecue that included steak and his Man of the Match award, with Haaland apparently enjoying a "nice evening".

Just after Phil Foden had set Manchester City on their way to their damning 3-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday, fans could be heard chanting Ruben Amorim's name. At first it seemed that United's 3,000 visiting supporters were defiantly backing their coach, and yet it soon became clear that it was in fact City's fans who were doing the singing.

Pep Guardiola hailed Erling Haaland as “better than ever” after the striker’s derby double inspired Manchester City to a 3-0 win over rivals Manchester United. Haaland’s ruthless brace, alongside a crucial opener from Phil Foden, saw the Citizens dominate at the Etihad. Guardiola later labelled Foden as “the heart of the club” in a glowing tribute to the Englishman.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted he could not fully trust Milos Kerkez to avoid a red card after the Hungarian’s early dive against Burnley. The left-back was hooked in the 38th minute following a yellow card, with Andy Robertson replacing him. The switch paid off as Liverpool held firm before sealing a 1-0 win thanks to Mohamed Salah’s late penalty.

Phil Foden dedicated victory to late boxing legend Ricky Hatton after Manchester City beat local rivals Manchester United 3-0 in the derby just hours after it was announced that the famous City fan had passed away aged just 46. Foden scored on his first start to the season and claimed the tragic news gave his side extra motivation to win the derby.

Erling Haaland was ecstatic at full-time as his two goals drove Manchester City to a confident derby victory against local neighbours Manchester United. Haaland was a threat from the very start and struck twice in the second period to seal a deserved victory for Pep Guardiola's side, who returned to winning ways following successive defeats before the international break.

Maya Jama led the Ruben Dias fan club when soaking up the atmosphere in Manchester City’s derby date with arch-rivals United. The Love Island host is dating the Blues’ Portuguese defender, with there plenty for the happy couple to celebrate following another epic Premier League fixture that saw City claim a comfortable 3-0 win at the Etihad Stadium.

Benjamin Sesko had yet another night to forget in a Manchester United shirt during what was his first start for the Red Devils. The 20-time English champions lost 3-0 to their Manchester rivals, City, and their new striker has been ridiculed for being 'completely anonymous' at the Etihad as Ruben Amorim's side endured their second Premier League loss of the season.

Manchester City returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion as Erling Haaland and Phil Foden struck the decisive blows in a 3-0 thumping of local rivals Manchester United in Sunday's derby. Foden opened the scoring in the first half before Haaland took the game away from the visitors with a brace in the second period.

Arne Slot has hinted at the timetable Liverpool have lined up for Alexander Isak, with the most expensive player in British football seeing his Reds debut delayed. The decision was taken not to include the Swedish striker in plans for a trip to Burnley, with the £125 million ($169m) frontman being eased into long-term plans by the reigning Premier League champions.

Manchester United were out-classed and over-powered by Manchester City in an embarrassing 3-0 defeat in Sunday's derby which compounded their poor start to the Premier League season. Luke Shaw was the worst of a terrible bunch of defenders while Benjamin Sekso's abject first start summed up the team's limp attack. United have just four points from their first four games and it could get worse before it gets better as they face Chelsea next.
