Manchester United produced a stunning performance to shock Premier League title-chasers Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford in Michael Carrick’s first game since taking over as interim head coach.
Carrick, appointed Tuesday, watched as his team dominated Pep Guardiola’s side. United won thanks to goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu, although they had another three ruled out for offside.
City, meanwhile, managed only one shot on target as their title hopes suffered another damaging blow. It’s now no league win in four games for City, giving Arsenal the opportunity to further stretch their lead at the top.
The result will boost United’s hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, with a trip to face Arsenal at the Emirates to come next weekend.
For Carrick, it was the perfect start and he left the pitch being serenaded by the fans in the Stretford End. Two weeks of chaos following Ruben Amorim’s sacking and Darren Fletcher’s short spell in charge ended on a high note.
