Manchester United’s victory was essential as they silence the voice of the visiting Manchester City side at home. The pressure may have been on Manchester United as they needed the three points more than the Citizens in the contest.
The road may have been cleared by the Red Devils with the win but they need focus to keep their fortune on going till the end of the season. Pep Guardiola’s side are just consolidating their place in the League in second place but United needs a response for European Football next term as they did in the game.
MANCHESTER ASCENDANCY WITH UNITED
Manchester United may have gotten the needed three points but they may have given themselves a bragging right against Manchester City as the season results may have indicated.
The Red Devils was magnificent against Pep Guardiola’s side as they asserted their dominance in the derby. This got them scoring 2 goals against the Noisy Neighour with Anthony Martial and Scott Mc Tominay on the score sheet in the match. This will please Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for United as Pep Guardiola has got a lot of work to do in this regards. This is more especially as Manchester City is expected to challenge for the UEFA Champions League crown with the quality they’ve got at the Etihad Stadium.
TOP FOUR DREAM ALIVE
The Red Devils have shown they are really up for the top four challenge as they beat City 2-0 at Old Trafford. The Chelsea side might have won 4-0 at Stamford Bridge beating Everton in the Premier League. As Chelsea lead in the top four race the Red Devils are just as close to the Blues as 5 and 6. This sees three points only separating the two sides as the permutations continues between Chelsea and Manchester
United. This result should get Frank Lampard’s focused keeping foot on the pedals as United traits them closely in the standing.
UNITED ON A POSITIVE RUN
The Red Devils are consistent as of now in the Premier League as hostility ensued between both Manchester (United & City) sides. The Red Devils had won key games in recent times despite the disappointing draw against Everton at Goodison Park the previous week before the Manchester Derby.
This have seen Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men put in decent shifts which have seen them defeat Chelsea, Club Brugge as well as Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at home.
It remains to be seen how consistent their winning streak could be as the season continue to unfold with its unpredictability in earnest.
