Manchester United secured a dominant 2-0 victory over Manchester City in an intense and highly anticipated Manchester Derby at Old Trafford. The result marked a statement win for interim manager Michael Carrick, who began his second stint at the helm with an emphatic performance.
The first half ended goalless, but United were the more dangerous side, creating several chances. Bruno Fernandes thought he had given United the lead in the 40th minute when he rounded City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to slot home, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Moments earlier, Amad Diallo had also been denied after a similar move, with the linesman flagging for offside once again. Despite these setbacks, United's fluid counter-attacks and wide play caused City problems throughout the first 45 minutes.
Defensively, both teams had their moments. United’s Harry Maguire had a golden opportunity in the third minute when he headed against the crossbar from a corner. City’s best chance came when United goalkeeper Donnarumma made an excellent one-on-one save to deny Bryan Mbeumo. Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot also received yellow cards for tough tackles, with City failing to assert dominance in the opening period.
The breakthrough came in the 65th minute when Mbuemo scored from a blistering counter-attack. Fernandes set up Mbuemo with a perfect pass, and the forward finished calmly into the bottom corner. United doubled their lead in the 76th minute when Patrick Dorgu scored from another fast break, showing their clinical edge.
United continued to press as the match neared its end, with Mason Mount adding a third goal in the 92nd minute. However, it was disallowed for offside, a cruel blow for the Red Devils, who had otherwise outplayed their rivals. City’s struggles in 2026 continued, with no wins in the league so far this year.
Donnarumma's crucial saves, combined with United's defensive organization and clinical counter-attacks, ensured Carrick's first match in charge ended in a deserved victory, leaving City with little to show for their efforts.
