Welcome to the Evening Standard’s Live coverage of the Premier League derby between Manchester United and Manchester City
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side earned bragging rights on Sunday afternoon, completing the double over their local rivals with a deserved 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.
Anthony Martial gave United the lead on the half-hour mark when a volley – teed up by Bruno Fernandes – squirmed under the body of Ederson.
The City goalkeeper was then left red-faced at the death as an errant throw was brilliantly dispatched into the net from 52 yards by Scott McTominay.

Manchester United player ratings
DEFENCE
David De Gea 7 A A good save to deny Sterling after United suffered a nervous start. Good in the air when needed.
Victor Lindelof 7 Composed display to limit City to very few chances.
Harry Maguire 8
A couple of misjudgements to start with. After that he totally grew into the game and barely gave Aguero a kick.
Luke Shaw 8
Getting better and better every week. Caught dithering by Aguero early on, but after that won just about everything that came his way.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 9 An absolutely immense performance both defensively and going forward. Sterling couldn’t get any change out of him. Is there a better tackler in English football?
