In the English championship, "Manchester United" showcased a strong performance, winning against their local rival "Manchester City." This match, which became a highlight for the fans, saw Carrick once again take the position of head coach and successfully fulfill his duties.
The first goal was scored in the 64th minute. After Harry Maguire headed the ball away, the team launched a swift counterattack. Bruno Fernandes, showing patience, delivered an accurate pass to Bryan Mbeumo, who coolly outplayed the opponents' goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. This moment sparked wild applause in the stands of "Old Trafford" and joy on the bench.
The second goal was scored by Patrick Dorg, which firmly solidified the position of the "Red Devils." "United" had the opportunity to increase the score, hitting the post through Maguire and Amad Diallo, while Donnarumma repeatedly saved his team from even greater losses.
On the other hand, "Manchester City" failed to demonstrate attacking power, creating almost no dangerous moments. The only controversial moment was a foul by Diogo Dalot on Jeremy Doku in the 11th minute, for which the defender could have received a red card, but the referee only issued a warning.
After the game, Michael Carrick emphasized the high discipline and dedication of the players, noting how much the atmosphere at "Old Trafford" influenced the result. "We were compact in defense and dangerous in attack. The energy of the fans was incredible," he said.
Defender Lisandro Martinez highlighted the teamwork in defense against Erling Haaland, while the scorer of the first goal, Bryan Mbeumo, noted the team's cohesion despite the short preparation period for the match.
This victory allowed "Manchester United" to temporarily occupy fourth place in the table, while "Manchester City" risks falling behind in the title race.
