Manchester United's sobering derby day defeat to Manchester City shined the spotlight on a number of issues for Erik ten Hag's side.

They were simply blown away in a 6-3 loss to Pep Guardiola's side, with the side effectively dead and buried at 4-0 down at half-time.

Despite salvaging a modicum of pride after the break it wasn't enough to save the players or the manager from criticism. One aspect that pundits and fans picked up on was the non-selection of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese has endured a frustrating campaign at United and Sunday's game saw him in the unusual position of being an unused substitute.
