The away side were then cut open for the first goal of the day. Man City created an overload on the left wing, where Canelo played a pass for Bernardo Silva on the overlap.
The Portugal midfielder cut his pass back across the penalty area where Foden swept the ball home with his left foot, past David de Gea who was rooted to his goalline.
Man City's passage of play, and finish by Foden, was excellent but Man United made life easier than it should have been for their opponents.

Erik ten Hag's side couldn't get near the home team and struggled to string more than two passes together. Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho were particularly wasteful up front, losing the ball almost every time they came into possession.
In midfield, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay were overrun, while United's full-backs, Dalot and Tyrell Malacia, were being torn apart by Grealish and Foden.
Meanwhile, Raphael Varane injured his ankle blocking a shot, and from the resulting corner, City doubled their lead. Man United appeared to be defending zonally, which left Eriksen up against Haaland. The Norwegian striker ran from deep, outmuscled United's defence and scored a header to make it 2-0.
Man United were reeling but Man City were relentless. The Premier League champion scored their third goal of the match after 37 minutes when Kevin de Bruyne and Haaland linked up again. De Bruyne curled a pass around the United defence. Haaland stretched and finished it past De Gea, using his studs to make contact with the ball.
Man City made it 4-0 just before half-time. Man United lost the ball outside of City's penalty area and the home side broke away to score on the counter-attack. De Bruyne carried the ball forward, through United's midfield, and passed the ball out wide to Haaland.
The Norwegian striker curled a wonderful pass to the back post for Foden to finish and score his second goal of the day.

Foden's hat-trick strike came nine minutes after his teammate scored his hat-trick.
Haaland passed the ball through to Foden, taking roughly five or six Man United defenders, and the England midfielder smashed the ball into the net.
Anthony Martial scored the final two goals of the day, but City's humiliation of their so-called rivals was complete by that point.
