Man Utd 2-0 Man City LIVE – Mbeumo and Dorgu goals fire United to Manchester derby win

Carrick on the fans buying into his style of play: “I hope so and I think the players certainly fed off it. The players were desperate to do well and I thought don’t be too desperate where it can cloud your judgement and decisions because you’re emotionally so invested in it.

“But I thought they got the balance so right and the supporters were incredible. I said yesterday, this can be a magical place and it does some funny things.

“Today, to get that feeling is exactly what we want. Hopefully it’s just the start and it’s something we need to build on.

“We’re not getting carried away massively but you’ve got to enjoy the feeling when you get it.”

“I felt it was a game for experience and knowing what it feels like. It was a big ask for H (Maguire) and credit to him. You take it for granted, sometimes, what players do but for him to play today and come through it, it was a bit of a calculated gamble of how long he could play and could he get through it because he’s literally trained for two or three days so it just shows you what it means to him and I thought he was fantastic.

“Between him and Licha, they were so solid at the back and gave us the foundation to build on.”

“I thought Kobbie was great in there alongside Casemiro. I thought they gave us a foundation, with Licha (Martinez) and Harry (Maguire), that block. I thought it gave us a really strong foundation.”

“The boys were fantastic today in so many ways. To manage it emotionally and with the information we’ve given them, pulling it all together. It was pretty good.”

“Many players come here for the first time with a Man City shirt and need these kind of things to grow.”

Guardiola is asked about Man City signing Marc Guehi: “I don’t know yet officially from my club. I think you will know and I will know when they tell me. Apparently it’s close but they didn’t tell me anything about that.”

“It’s not about they don’t run or they don’t try. I know them. I know how they commit, all of them, but sometimes at 12.30 on a Saturday, one team is better than the other one. We have to accept it.”

Guardiola says Dalot could have been sent off for his foul on Doku but does not want to focus on that.

“If the players have excuses for that result, we will be in trouble in the future. We have to look at ourselves and today it’s simple. Man Utd were better than us and we have to accept it.

“In ten years, how many times have we been better? I lost here before but we were a little bit there. Today, we have not been.”

“We changed a lot. The keeper to the front, many, many players. And we have a lot of important absences right now.

“But the spirit has been top. Today is a day that we were not here but Sunderland was extraordinary, we’ve been in many games. The games against Brighton, Chelsea, the last game in Newcastle. But today no.”

Pep Guardiola speaking to Sky Sports: “The better team won. They were better. When a team is better you have to accept it. They had the energy we didn’t have, so congratulations.”

Lisandro Martinez: “One important thing Michael Carrick said is use the energy of the people.”

Bryan Mbeumo: “Like Licha said, we used the energy of the fans today.”

It is all over, a massive win for United and a dream start for Carrick to his stint as interim manager. It moves them closer to the Champions League places and could kickstart their season.

For City it is a borderline catastrophic result. If derby day defeat was not bad enough, it could prove damning to their title hopes. Despite their victories in the cup, they have now gone four on the bounce without a win in the league.

United think they have a third as City look dead on their feet.

Cunha squares to Mount who taps home into an empty net with his first touch of the game. However VAR rules it out for offside.

Fernandes and Shaw are withdrawn.

Mount and Heaven are sent on.

City continue to commit men forward, with the result seeming increasingly certain.

United break forward and Amad takes into the penalty area before striking against the post.

United make a substitution of their own.

Casemiro is replaced by Ugarte for the final ten minutes.

Haaland, Silva and Doku are replaced by Mukasa, Reijndeers and Air-Nouri.

Certainly an interesting move from Guardiola.

United double their lead and it is Dorgu who scores the second.

Cunha drives to the by-line and swings a ball into the middle. Dorgu is able to get there first and finishes past Donnarumma, who watches on helpless.

Lewis loses the ball to Dorgu before dragging back the United man.

The City right-back becomes the latest to receive a yellow card.

The goalscorer is now taken off.

Cunha is sent on in his place.

The score is finally opened and it is Mbeumo who has the goal.

City commit men forward for a free-kick and are left exposed at the back when they lose possession. Fernandes drives forward and with United attackers outnumbering the City defenders, he slides it to Mbeumo. The Cameroonian dispatches the opportunity with his left foot and gives United the lead.

Donnarumma is called upon and responds once again.

This time it is Mbeumo who sees his effort kept out by the Italian.

Donnarumma keeps out a strike from Amad and then the rebound from Casemiro at point-blank range.

It is top drawer from he Italian goalkeeper, who then celebrates as if he had just scored.

United have been camped on the edge of their own area as City press forward in their search for an opener.

However the hosts still carry a threat on the counter attack.
