In an exhilarating match, Manchester United triumphed over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday evening, marking a significant milestone by inflicting an astonishing eight defeats in just eleven games on their local rivals. The match saw Bruno Fernandes convert a penalty after Amad Diallo was fouled inside the box, followed by Diallo’s breathtaking goal in injury time, sealing a memorable victory for United. This match not only showcases United’s resilience but also reflects their strategic prowess on the field.

Post-match, Ruben Amorim, who has notably secured two victories against Pep Guardiola in the past month, expressed his views on the match, asserting that Manchester United truly deserved the win. Amorim emphasized the team’s unwavering belief and tenacity throughout the game, which was crucial for securing this vital three points.

“I think we deserved it. It was a very tough match but we believe until the end. We managed to score, we needed that win, it was important for us and for our fans. We were in the game for 90 minutes and that is very good. We talk about the Arsenal game, we played well in the first half, but they were not believing that we could win. Today was so much more different. I also believe. Then we have Fergie time and we put the things together and something magic happened. It was a good day for us.”

“You can feel we were near to scoring. We improved our speed, when we make our runs and we had some opportunities. We controlled very well Haaland and the other guys in the offence of City. In the end, when we scored the first one, you can feel it in the team, they want it more. You feel like we still have minutes and we have the momentum. Congratulations to the lads.”

“The players believed they could win this game today and were really focused on the strategy. But we have to give all the credit to the players. They changed everything today and this win is just from the players. I like the way the squad was, even the guys on the bench, but I don’t want to talk about individuals. Amad Diallo was really important for us, of course, but all the team played well and that is important for us too. This is a team sport and, if you believe, work hard and sacrifice for each other, you can achieve things.”
