I was surprised when Manchester United came from one goal down to win Manchester City in the much anticipated Manchester derby. Manchester United took advantage of City’s lack of composure to win the game. It was a good game for Ruben Amorim and his men. Congratulations to Amorim as he becomes the first manager since Ferguson to win his first Manchester derby.

Don't be surprised as Manchester United only won that game as Manchester city are having a bad form, they haven't won about 10 games now so playing a debby isn't going to favour them. I was more surprised when I saw Manchester city winning as I thought this was going to be a straight forward win for Manchester United. Considering the poor form of Manchester city, I think they did well in this game. Manchester city needs a break and I know they'll be wishing there was an international break ahead as they'll need something like that to be able to regroup and comeback to the league to try to get something from this season as they have lost form very much.

It is true that Manchester City is in a slump but it must also be admitted that Manchester United has developed now so that they can win this Derby match, this is really something very surprising especially Manchester United managed to rise after being 1 goal behind in the first half and that shows the mentality of the team coached by Amorim which is very strong now.

And what happened to Manchester City is really beyond the expectations of many people, I don't understand why they can be like this now even though the players who are currently there are quite qualified even though some of their main players are injured but that doesn't mean it is the main reason for their very deep slump like now.

Pep Guardiola must take advantage of the January transfer market if he wants to change or make his team rise and Manchester City management must also fully support it, otherwise I think their slump will be even deeper.

Man I need to correct something here. If you say Manchester United won that game because of City not being in form then you might be correct and at the same time wrong. Manchester City played well and United played also well. This was a battle of the fittest.
Again if you look at the United side you’ll see they’ve been very poor when it comes to defending set pieces which has caused them to concede back to back from the corner. Arsenal who on the other hand are one of the best teams only could break the deadlock against Manchester United through set pieces. And then City got their goal through set pieces.
Manchester United were able to go toe to toe against City because Rashford and Garnacho who could have wasted even more chances were dropped. And to praise Amad for his performance. Man was outstanding.
So come January City will be exploring the market same as United and then we see what happens afterward
