Manchester United secured a thrilling comeback victory over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, with Ruben Amorim earning a win in his debut Manchester Derby as United’s manager.
City took the lead in the first half through Josko Gvardiol’s header, but United staged a dramatic turnaround in the second half. Bruno Fernandes equalized from the penalty spot after Matheus Nunes fouled Amad Diallo inside the area. Just four minutes later, Diallo scored a stunning winner, latching onto a long ball and finishing expertly from a tight angle.
Amorim’s tactics played a significant role in United’s victory. He opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Andre Onana in goal and a back three of Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Harry Maguire. Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui provided width as wing-backs, while Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte patrolled the midfield. Mason Mount and Amad Diallo supported lone striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Pep Guardiola’s City, on the other hand, started with Ederson in goal and a defensive three of Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, and Josko Gvardiol. Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva anchored the midfield, with Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes on the wings. Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden played advanced midfield roles, supporting Erling Haaland up front.
The match was intense from the start, with City dominating possession in the first half. However, United’s defense held firm, and they began to create chances in the second half. Diallo’s header forced Ederson into a save, and Fernandes scuffed a one-on-one chance against the City goalkeeper.
The turning point came when Nunes fouled Diallo inside the area, and Fernandes converted the resulting penalty. United’s momentum continued, and Diallo’s stunning winner sealed the victory for Amorim’s side.
