The Manchester Derby is a game the Argentine would want to forget quickly. He partnered Mangala in the absence of captain Kompany and Otamendi.
But the Argentine looked like the weakest link in the City defensive setup. He was the player Rashford beat before scoring the only goal of the game.
His back pass was what goalkeeper Joe Hart was about to clear under pressure from Martial that he sustained his injury.
The City shot stopper had to be substituted, and is now a doubt for England's upcoming friendlies.
Former Manchester defender Ferdinand described Demichelis back pass as an hospital pass, while stressing the need to get Kompany and Hart back to sustain City's Champions League ambitions:
He tweeted
That was the kind of pass that the phrase 'hospital ball' was made for! 🚑

Ferdinand also reacted to Hart's substitution and it's implication on City's Champions League hopes.
He tweeted:
Joe Hart coming off is not good news for city's CL chances at all. If he doesn't play along with Kompany then they are out.
