Hence, after the defeat, the undefeated heavyweight star expressed his frustration on social media. ‘The Gypsy King’ also compared the derby game with his fights against Deontay Wilder and offered some interesting opinions.

Tyson Fury said, “Hi guys, Tyson Fury here. After today’s defeat from City with Manchester United, it’s fair to say that United are taking a worse beating than Deontay Wilder took in all of his fights vs me. We’re absolutely getting smashed out there. And I think partly because the players. No disrespect to any of your sport, it doesn’t seem like you are digging deep to try and win these games.”

“You know when I fought Wilder. And I was on the floor. And any other man I have ever fought, I never ever believed I was gonna lose the fight. I always believed that I can come back and win, and that’s called a winner’s mentality.”

Fresh from his trilogy win against Deontay Wilder, Fury’s recent statements were for the Manchester United Team.

Is Tyson Fury right about the Manchester United vs Manchester City game?

Fans expected the English Derby to be a nail-biting contest. But in reality, it turned out to be City’s night. The Blues controlled the game from the beginning. Things worsened after United defender Eric Bailly scored an own goal in the seventh minute.

It gave Manchester City an ideal start. Although United could have rebounded, Manchester City seemed too strong to deal with.

United’s three-man central defense provided almost no help. It all came upon the goalkeeper, David de Gea, who saved umpteen shots on his goal.

Pep Guardiola’s side scored another massive goal before halftime. Despite having an entire half to respond, United looked clueless and City didn’t even make a single substitution to shore up their defense and retain their lead.

The performance was dismal, and Tyson Fury may be right about the lack of winner’s mentality.
