Manchester’s Darkest Month in 50 Years
Football in Manchester is enduring a torrid time as both Manchester United and Manchester City find themselves struggling. December has turned out to be a historically poor month, with the two clubs combining for nine defeats in less than 30 days.
United edges City in this unwanted tally, suffering five losses compared to their neighbors’ four. The last time both teams endured such a dismal run was back in April 1971, a full 50 years ago, when Ruben Amorim hadn’t been born yet, and Pep Guardiola was just three months old.
