"Michael Carrick got his Manchester United tenure off to the perfect start as his rejuvenated team deservedly beat Pep Guardiola's title-chasing Manchester City 2-0 in an eye-catching derby clash on Saturday. Carrick took charge of United on Tuesday following Ruben Amorim's sacking in early January and he immediately restored Kobbie Mainoo to the starting XI as the team produced a performance reminiscent of their glory days."
"After seeing two goals disallowed for offside, United finally got themselves in front in the 65th minute when Bryan Mbeumo finished past the excellent Gianluigi Donnarumma. Left-back Patrick Dorgu made sure of the points as he diverted Matheus Cunha's low cross in off the post with 14 minutes of normal time remaining. The result moves United up to fourth -- with Liverpool playing later on Saturday -- and leaves City six points adrift of league leaders Arsenal who have a game in hand."
