Manchester United have defeated Manchester City 2-0 in Saturday’s early kick-off.
It was the Red Devils’ first fixture after the Premier League club appointed Michael Carrick as their new head coach.
The hosts began the match in impressive fashion and saw two goals ruled out for offside in the first half.
However, they eventually took the lead after the break, with Bryan Mbeumo finishing off a swift counter-attack.
Patrick Dorgu then got on the end of Matheus Cunha’s cross to double their advantage.
It is the first win in five matches for United, with City now at risk of going nine points behind Arsenal at the top.
