Manchester United has launched the Michael Carrick era in style with a commanding 2–0 derby win over Manchester City.
United controlled the tempo and took a deserved lead through Bryan Mbeumo, who finished a swift counter-attack after a City free-kick broke down.
Patrick Dorgu doubled the advantage later in the match, ghosting in to finish from close range after a well-worked move.
The win lifts United to fourth in the Premier League standings. City remain six points behind leaders Arsenal.
City boss Pep Guardiola admitted defeat, saying the better team won and his side failed to control the game.
