"Carrick's first game back in interim charge at Old Trafford ended in a 2-0 victory over United's neighbours, thanks to second-half goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu. United were the dominant side throughout, with City limited to just one shot on target in an underwhelming performance that saw Pep Guardiola's team unable to quell the home support. And Martinez says Carrick's plan worked to perfection, with the former midfielder urging his side to drag the home crowd back onside and utilise their influence."
""One important thing Michael Carrick said was: use the energy of the people. Today I think we did it," the Argentina defender told Sky Sports. "When we are together, it is impossible to lose at home. We know how we've suffered during the season, but the only way is showing face and showing who we are. "This was the best moment to do it. The team, not just the players on the pitch, but also on the bench, everyone was part of that.""
