Manchester united make an astonishing comeback to deny Manchester City title win

Manchester United created a motivating second-half comeback to delay Manchester City's Premier League title coronation.

Vincent Kompany sent the city faithful wild twenty five minutes into proceedings at the Etihad. The skipper all too simply lost Manchester United defender Chris Smalling to meet Leroy Sane's corner with a bullet header to place his side in the driving seat.

City were celebrating once more 5 minutes later as Ilkay Gundogan scored a beautiful second goal. Criticised for his performance as Liverpool ran riot on Wednesday, the FRGinternational followed an excellent swivel with a coffee finish past David Delaware Gea.

United were an embarrassment throughout a primary half during which they did not muster so much as an attempt. Pogba was as censurable as anyone in their meek opening period, however at intervals ten minutes of the restart he had sensationally swung the game on its head.

The France international tucked away nicely at the tip of United's 1st good team move within the 53rd minute before jumping high to go past Ederson and silence a shockedEithad.

City were wanting as shambolic as United did within the first half and also the guests completed a stimulating turnaround within the 69th minute. Chris Smalling was guilty of losing Kompany for the opening goal, however became the hero by firing United ahead.

Guardiola quickly turned to Kevin de Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero in a bid to vary things once more but currently travel to city district to face Tottenham once more needing 3 points to win the title

Zidane: “We will not give Barcelona a guard of honour”

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane revealed that his team will not give Barcelona a traditional guard of honour if the two teams meet right after Barcelona become La Liga Champions. “We will not give a guard of honour, this is my decision,” said Zidane when asked about the matter. “Barcelona didn’t follow the tradition when we won the Club World Cup. This is my decision,” he added. Zidane is clearly stating that this is not something decided by the club in order to protect Real Madrid from potential criticism. Barcelona gave Real Madrid a guard of honour back in 2008 but they said that they would not do the same thing this past winter when Madrid conquered the Club World Cup. Nobody knows whether Los Blancos will finally face Barcelona under the circumstances which could make Madrid give said guard of honour, but it’s now clear that Zidane and his men will not hear anything about it.

Pep rests key players for United clash

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola rested Kevin de Bruyne among other stars for Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal rescue mission against Liverpool as City look to seal the Premier League title against local rivals Manchester United on Saturday. Guardiola made four changes from the side that lost 3-0 to Liverpool in the first leg of their last eight tie at Anfield on Wednesday with City just one win away from a fifth title and first of the Catalan’s big-spending time in charge. De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus drop to the bench along with full-backs Aymeric Laporte and Kyle Walker. City's all-time top-scorer Sergio Aguero also makes his return from injury, but only as a substitute. Danilo, Fabian Delph, Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling come into the side beaten by Liverpool.
