I'm gutted I didn't get to watch the match, but it seems like it was an entertaining one. Fair play to United for winning, and to City for being such good competitors. Looking forward to this season, this game shows how City have improved and the gap between the 2 sides is closing. Seeing as you're all commenting on a Manchester XI, here is mine, and with a reason why:
GK: Joe Hart - Top class goalkeeper, hardly ever makes a mistake.
RB: Rafael [Da Silva] - Solid attacking right back with typical Brazilian flair and skill.
CB: Nemanja Vidic - A very physical defender who can intimidate and deal with almost every striker - including the mighty Drogba.
CB: Vincent Kompany - A ball playing, rapid and strong defender who is well rounded and leads the line well.
LB: Patrice Evra - One of the best left backs in the world and can defender and attack.
DMF: Nigel De Jong - A solid, reliable defensive midfielder who isn't afraid to get stuck in for the cause.
CMF: Yaya Toure - A physical and technically talented complete midfielder who can play the holding role or get forward and score, too.
AMR: [Luis] Nani - One of the trickiest wingers for full backs to play against, Nani is full of pace, tricks and goals. Similar to compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo.
AML: David Silva - A great playmaker who can find a gap in the tightest of defences. Is versatile and can be deployed down the wing as well.
AMC: Wayne Rooney - His partnership with Hernandez is great, and he can bang in a few goals himself as well.
CF: Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez - The poacher in the team, has a great partnership with Rooney and is a natural goalscorer.
