Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay netted but Ederson was at fault for both goals, seeing Martial's effort squirm under him in the first half and then a weak kick in injury time gave McTominay the chance to finish into an empty net.

Martial 8/10 as Man United complete league sweep of rivals City

Ederson 3/10 for ghastly gaffes in goal as City lose Manchester derby
United's win, their first in the league at home to City since 2015, means they stay within touching distance of the top four and a Champions League spot, with only three points between them and fourth place Chelsea who beat Everton 4-0 earlier in the day.

The result also means Liverpool are now only two wins from winning their first title in 30 years. City play twice before Liverpool play again, at home to Arsenal on Wednesday and then home to Burnley next Saturday. Liverpool next face Everton away on March 16.

McTominay told Sky Sports after the match: "That was such a sweet moment. Credit to the boys. Sticky first 20 minutes and we had to keep going.

"We will take confidence from that but in the coming weeks we have got to keep the run going.

"It's such a beautiful feeling to score like that in front of the fans. But we can't get too carried away and need to keep pushing for the Champions League."

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: "Anthony and Bruno have hit if off. It is a privilege to be a manager of a squad with this attitude. You can't ask for more. They are going to improve as players as well."
