This is the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. Thanks for joining us. The Manchester derby kicked off the weekend on Saturday lunchtime as City headed across town to play United at Old Trafford. Here's how the game finished. Manchester United, unchained. Manchester United smiling again. From chaos, Michael Carrick has brought clarity and immediate joy. How Amid the senior figures of the club, they must relish this day. And how amongst the playing staff, it must be relished too.
What happened in the Manchester derby between United and City?
Mbomo scored the first, Daugu scored the second. Those aside, Manchester United had three goals ruled out for offside. And Maguire hit the bar. And they hit the post through Ahmad at the end.
And Donnarumma was brilliant in the Manchester City goal. And given all of that,
The weight of the narrative, Gary, is so hugely and unexpectedly in Manchester United's favour.
An absolutely incredible day, Peter. The goals help, the results help, but, by goodness, was that performance needed? He's played in great Manchester United teams, he knows what it looks like, but to actually put that into a team in three days where you could see some of the work that's gone on, this is not a time to get carried away, this is not a time to get giddy, because Manchester United have had so many false starts, but that is massively encouraging, to say the least.
What a first day at work, what a first week at work for Michael Carrick returning as he does as a former playing champion to the club he so adores Pep Guardiola with perhaps some justification will look back to an early moment in the game when Diogo Dalot might have seen red rather than yellow, that is worthy of debate. His greater concern as he meets the Manchester City supporters, those at least who remain, is that Arsenal now have the capacity to get nine points clear by the end of Premier League business today. But that Carrick smile is the image of the day. The difference he has made at once to the dynamic at Old Trafford. That is the story of the day, and the Stretford end produces the volume of the day, the noise, the celebratory noise that marks what feels, albeit wary as one must be of false storms that previously have been, what feels like a transformational Manchester United victory.
Manchester United 2 Manchester City now Gary Peter thank you very much and how rare a sight this has been Manchester United's Old Trafford pretty much still full away fans apart at full time whistle with broad smiles wherever you look in celebration at a performance and a victory for Michael Carrick in his first game in charge Roy Keane is here in the studio with us Could you have imagined this when you arrived here today, Roy?
Well, you knew they were up against it. They've got players back sitting on the back of a cup tie. But it's been a perfect afternoon for United, really. It's not as if they got luckier, they were hanging in there, they dominated the game, they scored two, could have scored a lot more, kept a clean sheet, which we know has been a struggle for the team over the last year or two. The top players turned up like Bruno, etc. Players off the bench had a big impact, so a great afternoon for the team. Again, City are a little bit off it, they lack intensity, again no goal against a different City. So for all the strength of City going forward, their top players never turned up.
How did Michael Carrick's leadership change the team's performance?
What do you think of the impact that Michael Carrick's had? Well, it's been, again, it's been perfect for him. Absolutely perfect there from 2-0 in. Again, your top lads turn up, the clean sheet to beat your local rivals and to beat them so well in a dominant performance. And the way the game started, you're thinking, yeah, it's there for him. And you're running half-time going, yeah, but you'd expect the bed to sit in the second half, but United never gave him that chance. As I said, you scored two, could have been maybe four or five, a couple of tight decisions, a bit of better timing running. They could have even won four or five, but they'll be more than happy with the 2-0 win
