Manchester United 0-2 Manchester City: Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane strike send visitors top

He did not even make that much fuss when the final whistle blew. Manchester City took a huge step towards defending their Premier League title by winning the latest Manchester derby The City midfielder used United left back Luke Shaw as a screen before rifling his left-footed drive into the bottom corner With United looking for an equaliser, substitute Leroy Sane was rapid on the counter-attack to double City's advantage It was all smiles for Sane, who was helped by a mistake from United goalkeeper David de Gea, who conceded at his near post Defeat for United is another major blow in their hopes of earning a top four finish as they remain sixth with three games to go The red halves of Manchester and Liverpool may have built this one up as a seismic event but United are living off their reputation now — their traditional status as members of the elite.

It was a tough first half for Pep Guardiola watching from the sidelines as City came up against a United side full of energy Bernardo Silva was man of the match against Tottenham and again looked a danger down the right as City looked for a goal The Portuguese international produced the first real save out of Manchester United keeper De Gea after a thunderous effort Marcus Rashford was left livid with the referee in the first half after finding himself in for some rough treatment from City Much like Lingard, Rashford was a real danger on the counter-attack and he was inches away from beating Ederson to the ball City did not falter, faced with the intense pressure of an away derby in which only three points could do, and reds from both Manchester and Liverpool ended the night downhearted. Challenges continued to fly in from both sides and Andreas Pereira was United's first name after a rash challenge United captain Young did not hold back talking to Marriner as he gave his support to his team-mate with tensions rising The best chance of the half for either side came to Raheem Sterling but his close-range effort was fired straight at De Gea Guardiola could only put his head in his hands as his side drew a blank in the opening 45 minutes to ramp up the pressure Things got worse for City early in the second half when Fernandinho, who is so crucial to the team, was forced off with injury United had a few tries from range — Pogba, Andreas Pereira, Fred — but their best chances came early.
