Football: the main stories of 13.09.2026

United lost the Manchester derby 0:1 at Old Trafford, and the officials have now admitted the only goal should not have stood. City had been down to 10 men for more than 70 minutes. Haaland still scored, and it is his 6th goal in 6 games this season. Pro Ref called the decision "an error of judgement" and will review the incident. Lisandro Martínez said Enzo Fernández was offside and pulled him away from Haaland. Carrick said the error was "as obvious as it gets", and Gary Neville said the club is owed an apology. The admission does not give United back the points. They remain on the wrong end of their manager's poor start. This was also Maresca's first derby without Guardiola in the opposite dugout. One outlet reports that Wayne Rooney called United toothless in attack.
