US EditionMan Utd Beat Man City 2-0 In Carrick's First Game In Charge
- On January 17, 2026, Michael Carrick's Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford in his first game as head coach.
- Michael Carrick was appointed head coach this week until the end of the season and has 17 games to convince the club hierarchy after Ruben Amorim was sacked last week.
- Bruno Fernandes' pass split City's defence for Bryan Mbeumo's opening goal on a 4-v-2 counter, while Gianluigi Donnarumma made vital saves and three United goals were ruled out for offside.
- Boosting morale at Old Trafford, United's win moved them into the top four and lifted spirits with Sir Alex Ferguson watching, while dealing a blow to Manchester City's title race hopes.
- City sit six points behind Arsenal and face a potential nine-point gap, yet remain in four competitions as Pep Guardiola substituted Erling Haaland 10 minutes from time; Carrick now faces the task of sustaining this momentum.
