Alejandro Garnacho put the Red Devils in front in the 30th minute before Kobbie Mainoo doubled the lead for Erik ten Hag’s side.

However, Jeremy Doku pulled one back for Pep Guardiola’s side in the second half.

City failed to equalise as the match eventually ended in a 2-1 scoreline in favour of United.

“In football you, are going to lose games,” Pep Guardiola said last weekend, after seeing his side lift the Premier League title yet again. “You have to choose how you lose games. That’s what defines the best teams.”

Manchester City certainly went down swinging in the second half and got one goal back to set up a tense finale, which saved a lot of face after an uncharacteristic first 45 minutes.
