#963 | Dominic and Ed discuss United's sensational 2-0 victory over Manchester City. Led by Michael Carrick, United setup in a smart counter-attacking style. There were impressive performances from key players - Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo, Harry Maguire and Casemiro in particular. It was an emotional win after another chaotic season. In a few short days Carrick has rejuvenated team morale - and that of the fans too. They'll be dancing in the streets of Salford, tonight!

There are challenges ahead though, such as the upcoming game against Arsenal - and Carrick still has to overcome squad depth issues, particularly in midfield. That’s for next week, though. Today was a fantastic victory.
