Manchester United vs Manchester City: Key Talking Points

#7 Kevin de Bruyne's passing is out of this world

Kevin de Bruyne ran the show for Manchester City

A talking point had to be dedicated to that pass he made to Bernardo Silva in the dying stages of the man. What started off looking like a trivela (an outside of the boot pass) ended up becoming a curled pass from the inside of his boot... how he gets the ball to bend its trajectory to his will makes for, well, magical viewing.

But it wasn't just that one moment.

It's his passing that made all the difference between the sides, his ability to curl the ball tantalizingly past defenders and onto attacker's paths enabling City to transition for standstill (or reverse) to full steam ahead in the blink of an eye.

it also highlighted United's main weakness...
