The Red Devils had to learn a lesson in humility when they played in the Manchester Derby, prior to that game the team was on a high, boasting about the level the team was at with four consecutive wins against the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as having a very similar team to the one they played match to match, the team got overconfident and lost scandalously 6-3.

Since then Erik ten Hag would declare that they learnt an important lesson from the Citizens, Pep Guardiola's team gave them a lesson in humility to face the rest of the October schedule, it was believed that the Red Devils would arrive very exhausted and without chemistry in their players coming off the back of losing the Manchester derby.
