"On 64 minutes Michael Carrick's second tenure went electric as Manchester United scored a classic breakaway goal by Bryan Mbeumo that sent the interim head coach berserk in the technical area. After a clearing Harry Maguire header, the ball evaded Rayan Cherki and Bruno Fernandes galloped forward. He had Amad Diallo to the right and Patrick Dorgu and Mbeumo on the left; United's streetwise captain delayed the pass expertly,"
"Six minutes after the opener, he removed the scorer, due to his recent Africa Cup of Nations endeavours, in favour of Matheus Cunha and the Brazilian created the second. This was too simple as Cunha whipped in a cross from the right and Dorgu nipped in front of a slumbering Rico Lewis to pinball home off the right post.

Michael Carrick's second spell as interim head coach began with a memorable derby victory as Manchester United beat Manchester City. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring with a quick breakaway finish after Bruno Fernandes drove the attack and set up the chance. Six minutes later Matheus Cunha delivered a cross that Patrick Dorgu redirected in for a second goal. Carrick made timely substitutions, replacing the goalscorer due to African Cup of Nations fatigue and introducing Cunha, whose delivery created the second. The result left United temporarily fourth and City six points behind the leaders.
