New Premier League supercomputer predicts Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool final points and positions after victory over Man City

Manchester United triumphed over Manchester City on Saturday afternoon as they recorded a 2-0 victory over their rivals in Michael Carrick’s first game as interim manager.

Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring on 65 minutes as the Red Devils caught their rivals on the counter attack. Patrick Dorgu made it 2-0 on 76 minutes as he showed great desire to get on the end of a cross from Matheus Cunha.

The Red Devils will be hoping the win goes a long way to helping them qualify for the Champions League while the result puts a serious dent in City’s hopes of winning the title.

“Being here with the fans, with the team, we really know how we suffer during the season,” said United defender Lisandro Martinez after the game.

“But the only way is putting the face here and showing here who we are. Today is the best moment to do it.

"Not just the players on the pitch, the staff, everyone was part of that. I think one important thing that Michael Carrick said was 'use the energy of the people' and, today, I think we did it and, when we are together like this, it is impossible to lose at home.

"When you play against these kind of players, the team defend. Not just one or two players. Today, we defended so good, we were compact all the times. And then you have the confidence to go to the duels. Today, you feel a different energy when you see the eyes of the players. Today, the team won and that is the most important thing."

“They were the better team,” said City boss Pep Guardiola.

“They had something we did not have. I’ve come many times here. but today we were not the level required to win these types of games.

“We had that energy four days ago against Newcastle but not today. It was not a bad performance. We didn’t get the result. It happens. It was a football game and they were better.

“They have a new manager, and they had the energy in a derby that we didn’t have. We’ve changed a lot of players in the last two transfer windows, and we need to live it.”
