"The way he held up the ball when we were struggling. He did everything. Defending, attacking, running in behind and doing the dirty work."It was a full shift and we need that more."Former United captain Roy Keane said Haaland "could have scored a few more", adding on Sky Sports: "We know Haaland's strengths. You have one of the best strikers in the world running from the halfway line and there was never any doubt he was going to finish it."You talk about a team player, you have to give him praise for coming back and doing a good job defensively."Read more on Haaland's displayShare19:58 BST 14 SeptemberHaaland scores twice as Man City cruise to win against Man Utd.

"We want to be close and still fighting for titles. The spirit was great, our players have a lot of pride and they want to try to do better on a special day. We saw our fans so happy and that is our job, so, so privileged."We have many things to improve. We are not yet a team but step by step. The victory helps us a lot. In the games we have had a lot of momentum and others not enough."They [United] have fantastic players and I know here we struggle against them, we have more better results at Old Trafford."On Phil Foden: "He played incredible. He is a guy who loves to arrive at the box. Our last Premier League title he was the best player in the Premier League. We need him so much."The players have a lot of pride. Erling's [Haaland] commitment this season is unbelievable. Two games, seven goals is not bad."Did you know?Erling Haaland scored his 50th goal in his 50th home Premier League game for Manchester City. In the competition's history, only Alan Shearer required fewer home appearances to hit 50 home goals (47).This was the 57th Premier League Manchester derby – but the first of those not to see a single yellow or red card shown.Hear more from Guardiola on BBC SoundsShareMan City 3-0 Man Utd - send us your thoughtspublished at 18:25 BST 14 September18:25 BST 14 SeptemberWhether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.Have your say on Man City's performanceWhat did you make of Man Utd's display?Come back on Monday for a selection of your repliesShareMan City v Man Utd: Team news published at 15:32 BST 14 September15:32 BST 14 SeptemberManchester City make six changes to the side that suffered a last-gasp defeat at Brighton before the international break.Deadline day signing Gianluigi Donnarumma comes straight into the starting line-up for his debut, replacing James Trafford.Local boy Phil Foden also starts with Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Nico O'Reilly and Jeremy Doku coming in.Matheus Nunes and Oscar Bobb drop to the bench, while John Stones, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Omar Marmoush are not involved.Man City XI: Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly, Rodri, Reijnders, Silva, Doku, Foden, Haaland.Subs: Ake, Bobb, Gonzalez, Lewis, Mfuni, Savinho, Mukasa, Nunes, TraffordManchester United make four changes to the side that edged out Burnley in their previous game.Benjamin Sesko gets his first start up front, with Noussair Mazraoui making his first appearance of the season following a muscular issue.Patrick Dorgu and surprisingly Manuel Ugarte also come in, with Casemiro on the bench alongside new signing Senne Lammens.Diogo Dalot, Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha miss out.Man Utd XI: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Dorgu, Ugarte, Fernandes, Diallo, Mbeumo, Sesko.Subs: Casemiro, Fredricson, Heaton, Heaven, Lammens, Leon, Maguire, Mainoo ZirkzeeShareFollow Sunday's Premier League games livepublished at 12:43 BST 14 September12:43 BST 14 SeptemberThere are two games in the Premier League on Sunday and BBC Sport will bring you every moment.Burnley v Liverpool (14:00) - listen on BBC Radio 5 LiveMan City v Man Utd (16:30) - listen on BBC Radio 5 LiveKick-off times BSTFollow and listen to Burnley v Liverpool hereAnd Man City v Man Utd is hereYou can also listen to today's 5 Live Premier League commentaries on most smart speakers.

I am also not as convinced by City if James Trafford keeps his place in goal.So, I think United will definitely score, but I still cannot go against City at Etihad Stadium because we know they will create chances there.I don't want to keep bringing up the goalkeeper but City's chances of getting the results they need will definitely be improved if new signing Gianluigi Donnarumma is in goal because right now they need a big presence there, and Trafford doesn't give them that.The same position is a huge call for United boss Ruben Amorim on Sunday too, but in a totally different way.United signed Senne Lammens ahead of Aston Villa's Emi Martinez, who has definitely got the kind of presence that brings confidence to his defence the same way Donnarumma does.We know Lammens has got these amazing save statistics, but there is much more to being Manchester United's goalkeeper than that.Amorim confirmed on Friday that Altay Bayindir will start against City, so people are going to scrutinise that decision and ask why he didn't put Lammens in straight away if he rates him so highly.Sutton's prediction: 2-1Read the full predictions and have your say hereShare07:38 BST 14 SeptemberWhat issues need fixing at Man City?, published at 07:38 BST 14 SeptemberWhat issues need fixing at Man City?AttributionMan CityComments807Man City v Man Utd: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 12:59 BST 13 September12:59 BST 13 SeptemberJordan ButlerBBC Sport journalistThe Etihad is set to host to the 197th Manchester derby this weekend with both City and United enduring indifferent starts this season. BBC Sport explores some key themes as this historic rivalry continues.Three points from a possible nine represents Pep Guardiola's worst start to any league season, while 21 years have passed since Manchester City were last beaten in two of their opening three Premier League matches.The previous time City lost three of their first four top-flight games was in 1995-96 under Alan Ball. That campaign ended in relegation and while that is almost certainly not going to happen to this side, defeat here could see them fall nine points behind the early pacesetters Liverpool.Guardiola will again look to the in-form Erling Haaland to fire his side to victory. The 25-year-old scored a hat-trick in his first Manchester derby in 2022 and warmed up for this one by netting five times in Norway's 11-1 victory over Moldova.It was the third five-goal haul of Haaland's senior career and he has now scored 48 international goals in 45 caps. City's number nine would usually dominate the headlines given the week he has had, but most of the focus during the build-up is likely to be on the club's new number 99.Gianluigi Donnarumma could become the eighth City player to make their Premier League bow in a Manchester derby and the third goalkeeper after Andreas Isaksson in 2006 and Claudio Bravo in 2016. Neither kept a clean sheet, although Isaksson did appear as a half-time substitute for Nicky Weaver.Five of the previous seven debutants ended up on the winning side, two found the net and one - Mikhail Kavelashvili - is now the president of Georgia.Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has elected to stick with Altay Bayindir as his number one goalkeeper despite Senne Lammens arriving from Royal Antwerp for ￡18m on deadline day.The Belgian will have to wait a little longer for his United debut but is likely to be on the bench on Sunday after Andre Onana's loan move to Turkish side Trabzonspor.Bayindir has failed to impress in his brief spell as Manchester United's first choice – bar his FA Cup penalty heroics at Arsenal last season - and he is one of just three keepers to make an error leading to a goal this term.Regardless of who plays in goal, United will be buoyed by the fact they are yet to lose to their Manchester rivals under Amorim, with a 2-1 victory at the Etihad last season followed by a goalless draw at Old Trafford in April.Listen to commentary of the Manchester derby on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds on SundayYou can also listen to 5 Live Premier League commentaries on most smart speakers.

He thinks he will be out "for a few weeks" but return before the October international break, while Rayan Cherki and Rayan Ait-Nouri remain sidelined.John Stones is a doubt for Sunday's derby but it is "not a big issue" and the rest of the squad "is fine".Guardiola paid tribute to the departed Ilkay Gundogan, Ederson and Manuel Akanji: "I wish personally all the best to all three because they helped us a lot to be who we are."On Gianluigi Donnarruma who joined on deadline day from Paris St-Germain: "The market gave us a chance to take Gigi. He is 26 years old and has incredible experience with big clubs and the national team. We didn't take Gigio to do what Ederson has done. Gigio has other qualities. He's so tall. He's so huge. He's going to concede goals but we're going to try to help him so it doesn't happen."Asked where this leaves fellow goalkeeper and summer signing James Trafford, Guardiola said: "He's a keeper for Manchester City. With keepers we can only play with one. The season is so long and everybody will be involved."He did not confirm who will start in goal on Sunday.When asked about Liverpool boss Arne Slot's comments that Alexander Isak is the best striker in the world, Guardiola said that he ranks Erling Haaland "a little bit above" and that he "would not change Erling for anyone".Is it easier to work with a smaller squad? "I have 16 players available now - yeah it's easier. I don't have 26. When you change 10 players in a period of four or five months, everything needs to be settled, fixed and co-ordinated. We are doing many, many good things, but still we have to be more consistent."Guardiola stressed his hunger for success is as great as ever: "I will not stay at Manchester City when I feel the club needs a change. But right now, I feel I want to do it - more than ever after what happened last season."Follow all of Friday's Premier League news conferences and the rest of the day's football newsListen to BBC Radio 5 Live commentary of the Manchester derby on SundayYou can also listen to 5 Live Premier League commentaries on most smart speakers.
