Manchester United had a penalty award overturned as their derby with Manchester City at Old Trafford ended in a disappointing 0-0 draw in the Premier League on Saturday (Dec 12).

Man United were awarded a penalty in the 48th minute when Kyle Walked kicked Marcus Rashford’s foot in the box but the decision was over-ruled after VAR found the United striker had been in an offside position.

Man City had created little up to that point – a Riyad Mahrez shot was saved by David De Gea in the 35th minute with Kevin De Bruyne unable to capitalise on the loose ball.

United’s best chance came in the 54th minute when Paul Pobga put Rashford in on the left but the striker slipped as he shot harmlessly wide.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are seventh on 20 points with eighth-placed City a point behind after 11 games.

After the game, Man City defender said,

“It was a difficult gamer, it always is … for both sides.

“Coming here with no fans made for a different atmosphere today. We both didn’t create many chances, to be honest. We were both very good defensively and it’s another clean sheet for us.

“We’re a bit frustrated we’ve not come away with more. I think overall we fought so well and I’m proud of the boys. Today we’ve come away with a point and we’ll be pleased.”
