The 196th Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City concluded in a goalless draw at Old Trafford on April 6, 2025. The match was largely uneventful, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances.
In the first half, City dominated possession but failed to translate it into significant opportunities. United's Alejandro Garnacho had a notable chance early on but couldn't capitalize.
After the break, City's Omar Marmoush tested United goalkeeper Andre Onana with two efforts, while United's substitute Joshua Zirkzee forced a crucial save from Ederson. A late penalty appeal by United was dismissed by both the referee and VAR.
This result leaves Manchester City in fifth place in the Premier League standings, one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea, impacting their Champions League qualification hopes. Manchester United remains in 13th position, continuing a challenging season.
The match marked Kevin De Bruyne's final Manchester derby, with City fans paying tribute to his contributions.
Post-match, former United captain Roy Keane criticized the game's lack of intensity and quality, describing it as a "friendly derby."
