""I wasn't at the stadium, I was in the BBC studios, but did you see the difference in the stadium? Even when he [Michael Carrick] walked out before the game and he's trying to pump the crowd up,""
""I think the fans felt something yesterday. They got a taste of what it was like under Sir Alex Ferguson. Some of the young fans who have been through a terrible time over the last 10, 13 years, really, since Fergie left. They haven't witnessed a team perform that well. I've been part of some of those teams as well. I've played in some of them. They haven't witnessed a team perform that well, with that energy and that belief in their fighting and being brave with the ball, but also being resilient and tough to play against. Them fans felt that yesterday and hopefully that's a glimpse of what we've got coming in the next 16 games.""
Michael Carrick was appointed interim head coach until the end of the season, replacing Ruben Amorim. Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford, with Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu scoring after a goalless first half. Mbeumo returned from Africa Cup of Nations duty. The home crowd displayed renewed energy and belief, evoking comparisons with the Sir Alex Ferguson era, especially among younger fans who have not seen similar performances since Fergie left. The team showed bravery on the ball, resilience and fighting spirit, offering hope for the remaining 16 games.
