Roy Keane has criticised Manchester City, with their hopes of Premier League title glory hanging by a thread following their 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola's men were outplayed from start to finish, with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu giving the Red Devils all three points and derby-day bragging rights.
It means that City could find themselves nine points behind Arsenal at the top of the table by the end of today, should the Gunners beat Nottingham Forest.
And Keane didn't mince his words following the full-time whistle, with the Sky Sports pundit criticising the way City performed.

"Man City's set-play delivery was poor all day. They are stretched and all over the place as if they're chasing the game," he said.
"If you want one player to be in that position on the ball, it is Bruno Fernnades. Fantastic goal from United.
"From City's point of view, all over the place."

| GETTYMicah Richards, who won the Premier League and FA Cup while he was at City in his playing days, also twisted the knife.
As well as condemning how exposed they left themselves, Richards also suggested that City's attitude wasn't good enough.
"I'm disappointed with the number of chances City conceded," he said. "In a derby you have to give 100 per cent."

The Portugal international admitted that United were the better team on the day, while also suggesting their own shortcomings played into their rival's hands.
"They deserved to win today," he said.
"They had more energy and intention. It always felt like they were close to score and we were never there.
"We gave them what they want. They took the game to where they are good and we are not so good.
"Since I arrived here in England we have always been a very controlled team. There was a lot of things missing from us. Definitely a bad day for us."

Early in the match, Diogo Dalot was fortunate to avoid a red card.
The United star caught Jeremy Doku high on his knee, with the winger falling to the turf in agony.
Dalot only got a yellow, when many fans and footballing figures thought he should have been dismissed.
Silva, when asked about Dalot, opted against complaining.
"After a day like today, I don't think we have any excuses. It was a really bad performance from us," he admitted.
"I saw the challenge, it is what it is. This season the 50-50 decisions all go against us. They all go for our rivals. At the end of the day this was not the reason. I watched the clip it is a red card."
