Manchester City 4-1 Manchester United: Moyes humiliated on derby debut

Sergio Aguero scored twice as Manuel Pellegrini's men roared to victory at the Etihad Stadium with a magnificent late free-kick from Wayne Rooney scant consolation for the visitors.

Manuel Pellegrini was an emphatic winner in the battle of the Manchester derby debutants in the dugout on Sunday, as his side ruthlessly took apart David Moyes' reigning champions at the Etihad Stadium.

Sergio Aguero opened the scoring in impressive fashion as he volleyed home early in the first half, before Yaya Toure forced the ball over the line just before the break to put City firmly in the ascendency.

Mourinho intent on forging strong Moyes relationship

The 50-year-old is looking to emulate the strong relationship he had with Sir Alex Ferguson and hopes Chelsea's pursuit of Wayne Rooney does not have a negative impact.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho hopes to develop a strong relationship with Manchester United manager David Moyes regardless of the Blues' interest in Wayne Rooney.

The sides meet at Old Trafford on Monday night with Mourinho looking to extend his side's run of results to three consecutive wins, following victories over Hull and Aston Villa.

No plans to talk Rooney into staying at Man Utd, says Moyes

           

Manchester United manager David Moyes does not intend to speak with Wayne Rooney in an attempt to convince him to remain with the Premier League champions, the Daily Mirror has reported, as Moyes does not feel any player should need convincing to play for United.

Rooney has been the subject of a number of offers from Chelsea and his future is not yet clear, with Moyes reluctant to discuss the status of Rooney after United drew 1-1 in a pre-season friendly with AIK Stockholm. Rooney was originally to take part in the fixture but was forced to pull out with a shoulder injury, and combined with a hamstring problem it is not yet known when he will be back at full fitness.

Moyes and Rooney have heart-to-heart

Wayne Rooney has not asked Manchester United for a transfer after a heart-to-heart with manager David Moyes.

But the unsettled England star is heading closer to the Old Trafford exit as Chelsea are expected to increase their £30 million offer shortly.

Rooney met Moyes after training on Monday to discuss the latest rejected offer but he pulled back from demanding a move despite his current anger at the way he is being treated by the club.

Moyes confident of making new signing

Speaking to the media today, David Moyes says he’s confident of adding new players to the squad before the transfer window closes.

When asked about the potential Cesc Fabregas deal, Moyes revealed there was some uncertainty as to whether or not a third bid would be placed to tempt Barcelona into selling.

Add to that new Barcelona coach Gerard Martino admitting his club will ‘reject a third bid’ it’s likely Moyes will be exploring his options, but who fits the bill?

Here are some alternatives that I think would be great additions to the club.

See them after the cut..
