Michael Carrick's return to Old Trafford delivered a stylish 2-0 Manchester United victory over rivals Manchester City. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu secured the win, with three other United goals ruled out for offside in a dominant Premier League display.

Carrick, appointed as interim head coach this week, immediately restored an attacking identity. United's front-foot approach overwhelmed City, who managed just one shot on target. The result moves United into the top four, while City risk falling nine points behind league leaders Arsenal.

This win marks a significant shift for United under Carrick's temporary leadership. The performance, full of pace and purpose, evoked memories of the club's attacking traditions. For City, it's a concerning setback in their title chase, highlighting their current struggles in big away fixtures.
