It was quite the dull affair at Old Trafford as Manchester United and Manchester City played out a lifeless 0-0 draw. United went into the game on the back of a heartbreaking loss to RB Leipzig in midweek, which saw them eliminated from the UEFA Champions League. City, on the other hand, topped their group and are through to the knockout phase of the competition.Despite their positions on the league table with City being a point below United, the visitors entered the clash in much more of an assured form than the hosts, who have endured a roller-coaster of a season so far.Wearing it with pride 🏳️‍🌈 @adidasfootball#adidasfootballcollective #allredallequal #rainbowlaces pic.twitter.com/wCFSG9KcW0— Manchester United (@ManUtd) December 12, 2020The first half was a largely frustrating one for both sides, with both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Pep Guardiola opting for a relatively cautious approach. The Catalan deployed both Rodri and Fernandinho in front of his backline to help guard Ederson's goal even further, and the pair of defensive midfielders provided a barrier that was not breached too often by the hosts.Barring the odd chance, there wasn't too much of note in the first 45. Raheem Sterling came close to scoring after taking out a couple of players with his silky close control, but saw his shot blocked by Harry Maguire. Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne combined on another instance and had the chance to cap off a brilliant team move, which was ultimately skied by the Belgian.Man City have now gone over five hours without scoring against Man United 😳 pic.twitter.com/wdFKCqsQjS— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) December 12, 2020The second-half got off to a similar start with neither side being able to take the game by the scruff of the neck despite an assortment of stars on display at Old Trafford. United looked like they found a way into the game with a Marcus Rashford penalty claim, which was ruled out by VAR for an offside in the buildup.However, the number of chances created, particularly by City, rose as the half progressed. De Bruyne, once again, had the chance to break the deadlock from close range but was thwarted by Maguire from inside the box after some superb work from Gabriel Jesus. City poured bodies forward but failed to open up a well-drilled United side, and neither could Solskjaer's men break the former English champions down.It was ultimately a clash of two solid defences on the night as the likes of Ruben Dias, Harry Maguire, and other defensive personnel were far busier than their attacking counterparts. Both Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne - billed as the two superstars who could make the difference for their sides - had a relatively quiet night.

Martin, Martin, Martin...— FootballJOE (@FootballJOE) December 12, 2020This match is being played out as if both sets of players have agreed to a 90-minute protest against this season's unrelenting schedule. #ManchesterDerby #MUFC #MCFC— Colm Boohig (@ColmBoohig) December 12, 2020Pep tricking Foden into not doing a Gomes/Sancho is a work of art. Compare him to Xavi and give him 12 seconds in every big match for 3 years..... It's kind of genius.— Enda Higgins (@endahiggins88) December 12, 2020Commentator - "The games opening up a bit"as Sterling saunters down the right wing #MUNMCI pic.twitter.com/Ua1Q3wSWEb— BoyleSports (@BoyleSports) December 12, 2020I’m sorry but this is one of the worst games of football I’ve seen in a while, Manchester derby don’t hit the same as Liverpool/Utd , City/Liverpool— Haz (@pubIad) December 12, 2020Fred activating his Brazilian membership to do a roulette on De BRUYNE 🤧pic.twitter.com/0WFjhPnCZc— ًEIIis. (@UtdEIIis) December 12, 2020Solskjaer is likely pleased with the first half. There were openings. Half chances and flashes of a way through, mostly, but there is plenty of promise for United. A little too open at times, but we mustn't forget the quality of opposition. They will need to take a chance.— The Tactical Times (@Tactical_Times) December 12, 2020Seventy minutes into a derby and not a single booking seems quite fitting for such a hollow occasion, despite Fernandinho's best efforts to get carded. #MUNMCI— Samuel Luckhurst (@samuelluckhurst) December 12, 2020Man City have now gone five hours without scoring against Man Utd across all competitions.Your move, Pep. 😬 pic.twitter.com/97vu3hsQGU— Squawka Football (@Squawka) December 12, 2020This has got to be the dullest #ManchesterDerby I’ve ever watched. Wake me up when something happens.— Jon Robyns (@JRobyns) December 12, 2020what a block from Maguire!— Muhammad Butt (@muhammadbutt) December 12, 2020Be interested to know how many times possession has been squandered. Barely a minute goes by without one side giving it away #MUNMCI— richard foster (@rcfoster) December 12, 2020This is like a training session but without any tactics. In other words a United training session. #MUNMCI— Joe Cox (@JosephCox) December 12, 2020Not the best Manchester derby I’ve seen. It was nearly dull enough to watch Strictly....alright I’m exaggerating. 😉— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) December 12, 2020Even the fake crowd noise seems to have given up on this Manchester derby.— Badly Drawn Boy (@badly_drawn_boy) December 12, 2020
