Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo put his side ahead in the Derby against Manchester City on Saturday in the Premier League engagement.
Mbeumo, who was played through on goal by Bruno Fernandes on the overturn in the 68th minute of the game, made no mistake in depositing the ball into the back of the net past City custodian Gianluigi Donnarumma to give Michael Carrick’s men the lead.

In the 76th minute, Dorgu latched onto a Matheus Cunha cross, scoring to extend United’s lead against their noisy
neighbours. Diallo showcased remarkable skill, fending off Nathan Ake’s pressure as he cut in from the left and struck the post with his right foot. Shortly thereafter, Mason Mount, who had just been substituted in, put the ball into an open net, only for the goal to be disallowed for offside due to Cunha straying past the last defender during the build-up.
Earlier, Amad Diallo and Fernandes both had goals disallowed for offside, dampening the spirits of Michael Carrick’s Red Devils.
