Gary Neville described Manchester United's derby defeat as a 'bad day' for Michael Carrick's side, with pressure increasing after failing to beat 10-man Manchester City at Old Trafford.

United lost 1-0 to Erling Haaland's controversial winner after Phil Foden was sent off early in the first half. Refereeing body Pro Ref admitted an error in awarding the goal, revealing it had contacted Manchester United to acknowledge an 'error of judgment' and that VAR 'should have recommended an on-field review' with Enzo Fernandez, in an offside position, potentially impacting play.

Neville said the failure to beat 10-man City was a major concern, particularly given United's struggles to manage the game. 'Michael Carrick can be angry about the goal but he should also be angry about the performance,' he said on the Gary Neville Podcast.

United have now lost three games in the last year to 10 men. The result leaves United with just four points from four games, matching the club's worst start to a Premier League season. Neville warns that there are already concerning signs, with the pressure continuing to increase on Carrick ahead of Sunday's away game against Fulham.
