Sir Alex Ferguson's Big Smile
The legendary Manchester United coach was in critical condition after suffering a hemorrhage in the brain in May and had indeed returned to watching his old team at Old Trafford last September.
And last night in this Manchester Derby match, Sir Alex Ferguson came directly to the Etihad Stadium. He looks very healthy and engrossed in watching the defeat of his favorite team.
From British media to netizens, they expressed their delight they could see Sir Alex Ferguson returning to watching Manchester United directly at the stadium.
Meanwhile, Manchester United were only able to respond with one goal through Anthony Martial. In that match, last season's Premier League champions recorded brilliant action with 44 passing attempts before Iilkay Gundogan hacked into David De Gea's goal.
The statistics shown by Opta Joe actually showed that The Citizen dominated part of the match with a total of 65 percent ownership and the passing success rate of more than 91 percent. Manchester City also managed to almost double the number of Jose Mourinho strongholds, with 704 compared to 380. Meanwhile, Manchester City center defender Aymeric Laporte had the highest passing rate from his peers, registering 98.7 percent of his efforts.
This victory brings Manchester City who still top the Premier League to get 32 points, 12 points ahead of the Red Devils who are ranked 8th in the standings.
However, the interesting thing is, Sir Alex Ferguson who looked healthy also smiled very broadly in the photos taken by PA. Hopefully, this smile is not because Manchester United lost to Manchester City.
