Relief for Jose Mourinho as Man United dig it out

Manchester United 1 Manchester City 0: After the humiliation of losing to former club Chelsea, Jose Mourinho was at least able to gain revenge over his old enemy Pep Guardiola.

It wasn’t exactly a vintage Manchester United performance but it a 1-0 victory was a result they badly needed in the battle of the crisis clubs.

Juan Mata’s 54th minute strike was enough to give United a win in a game that was high on tension but short of any real quality.
