"It was a perfect response to a dismal four-game winless run beforehand and also a timely morale boost ahead of the team's trip to North London to face Premier League pacesetters Arsenal. Second-half goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu sealed the deal for the Red Devils in what was arguably their best performance since the start of last season."
"Whether it was beginner's luck or the beginning of a new era remains uncertain, but Carrick achieved more on his touchline debut than Ruben Amorim did during his 13-month tenure. Unlike his predecessor, the 44-year-old trusted academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo to start in what could prove a season-defining match for United, and the youngster lived up to the billing. Mainoo is likely to start this Sunday, as the 20-time English champions aim to upset the apple cart at the Emirates Stadium,"
Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford under interim manager Michael Carrick, ending a dismal four-game winless run and providing a morale boost ahead of the Arsenal trip. Second-half goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu secured arguably their best performance since the start of last season. Carrick trusted academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo to start, and the youngster performed well. Mainoo is expected to start against Arsenal, who are 3/5 to extend a 12-game unbeaten run while United are 47/1 underdogs. The change contrasts with Ruben Amorim's reluctance to rely on youth, and Carrick's willingness to promote academy players could inject confidence and energy into the squad.
