Youri Tielemans admits 'everyone is disappointed' as controversial Erling Haaland strike sinks Manchester United in derby

Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans admitted the dressing room was left reeling with frustration following a narrow 1-0 derby defeat to ten-man Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Belgian playmaker acknowledged the team fell short of expectations after failing to capitalise on their numerical advantage for over seventy minutes.

The hosts failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage after Phil Foden received a straight red card in the 23rd minute for a foul on Bruno Fernandes. Despite threatening through Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo, who both struck the woodwork, United fell behind on the hour mark to a contentious Haaland tap-in at the back post. The decisive strike stood following an extensive VAR review , with Enzo Fernandez deemed not to have interfered with play from an offside position.
