Gary Neville predicted United would beat City.

They are progressing quite a bit in this area."

This is something that Gary Neville commented on in a video that he shared on his own Twitter page approximately one hour before the Manchester derby got underway on Sunday. The comment was made by the ex-captain of Manchester United in response to the latest team news from Manchester City, most likely about the absences of Rodri and Ruben Dias.

When Neville turned to fellow pundit and ex-player for City Micah Richards, he appeared to be extremely confident that United would win the match. When City went into halftime leading 4-0, it is safe to say that he probably felt a little silly about the situation.

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden each scored twice in the first half to put City in the driver's seat, and the two players then completed their hat-tricks in the second half to put City out of reach of the competition.

While these two players became the first and second City players in the history of the Premier League to score hat-tricks against United, Haaland became the first player in the history of the competition to score hat-tricks in three consecutive home games. Both of these players were City players.

Even though the away team got some pride back thanks to a spectacular goal scored by Antony in the second half and two goals scored by Anthony Martial, City was more than worthy of their 6-3 victory. The team coached by Pep Guardiola has maintained their perfect start to their defense of the Premier League title. As a result, they have moved into second place in the standings, one point behind Arsenal.

Fans were quick to remind Neville of his pre-match comments on social media, which he had made before the match when City was running away with the game.
