Manchester United vs Manchester City: Key Talking Points

#8 Fabian Delph shows City are far from invincible

Fabian Delph fails - rather acrobatically - to stop an Anthony Martial charge

If anyone had walked around in August saying Fabian Delph and Ashley Young would be the Manchester clubs' first choice left-backs you'd have been laughed off the park. Circumstances and mistrust (in the cases of Danilo and Luke Shaw) have led to this fantastic fiction becoming fact - and while Young has taken to his new role with aplomb and put in yet another fantastic shift against the two best wingers in the league... Fabian Delph proved just how big a stop-gap measure he really is.

His failure to read routine passes was at times embarrassing - for the Rashford goal and for the Rashford chance - and he looked like a real weak link.

Guardiola will be hoping that Benjamin Mendy comes back to full fitness as soon as humanly possible
