It was eventually a boring, actionless Manchester Derby where both teams could have been better. City lacked the depth in their attacking front, while United could not take the chances in the second half. 

Zirkzee tried his best to do some damage in the second half, while Bruno was the best player on the field and won the Player of the Match award as well. 

But, in the end, both teams looked like the Premier League is done for them, and they now need to end the season as quickly as possible. 

This was Koushik Biswas with the real-time updates for you. I hope you enjoyed the coverage. 

Thank you. See you in the next match.

A goalless Manchester Derby!

Surely, we will see a few changes from both teams in the second half.
