Premier League: Man City vs Man United, latest update.

Manchester City beat city rivals Manchester United 2-0 to compound the pressure on coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and continue their bid to retain the title they won last season in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

United had been in the news a lot thanks to their inconsistent results. Solskjaer was on the verge of getting the sack after the 5-0 drubbing at home to bitter rivals Liverpool but result against Tottenham and an Atalanta draw made it look like things were getting back into place.

The win, City’s first derby win since 2019 takes them within two points of Chelsea who plays later today and keeps United in fifth position on 17 points, three points behind West Ham and outside the Champions League qualification zone.
