Manchester City Dominates Manchester United in Thrilling 3-0 Victory

Manchester City's stylish performance in the Manchester derby on Sunday delivered a humiliating 3-0 loss to Manchester United, further straining the team's struggling start to the season. United coach Ruben Amorim tried to reassure fans that his team would bounce back, but the setback was yet another blow to the team's confidence, with a record that's anything but impressive under his leadership.
