Old Trafford rejoiced as the final whistle blew on the 189th Manchester derby.
A win against Manchester City is always something to celebrate. This, however, felt like more for the Manchester United fans.
A come-from-behind 2-1 victory on Saturday was the latest evidence of the team’s improvement under manager Erik ten Hag and the potential of an unlikely Premier League title challenge.Substitute Jack Grealish had put City ahead in the second half, but goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford secured the points for United and went some way toward avenging the humiliating 6-3 loss to its neighbor in October.
“Fans may dream, but we are not. We have to keep our feet on the ground and face that our game has a lot to improve,” the Dutchman said. With Rashford clearly offside when the ball was played down the middle, according to ESPN, the United forward charged through but left the ball for Fernandes to score from 20 yards and the offside flag was raised. But referee Stuart Attwell overruled his assistant because Rashford, while appearing to interfere with play next to his teammate, did not actually touch the ball.
“To be honest, for me the first goal is a joke that it is going to be allowed like this,” said City defender Manuel Akanji.“The decision is they didn’t believe Rashford was intervening in this stadium. This is Old Trafford, we have to play much better, like Anfield, we have to do better,” he said. “We often talk about teams developing, tactics progressing. One of the main jobs for a manager, for a coaching staff is to work on the mentality of the team and this mentality has a lot of elements. One of them is resilience, the determination of this team is progressing a lot in those facts, dealing with setbacks, dealing with suffering in painful moments and keep going after setbacks like a goal against us.
