Man of the Match from Man Utd 2 Man City 0 | 17 January 2026

With a resounding 38 per cent of the vote, you selected our captain, Bruno Fernandes, as your Man of the Match.

The Portuguese midfielder embodied our overall performance, registering the most tackles (4) of any player on the pitch and creating the most chances (6), one of which being the pass that gave Mbeumo the room to slip the ball beyond Gianluigi Donnarumma just after the hour mark.

Fernandes was then replaced in the final moments by fellow creative spark Mason Mount, who had a stoppage-time goal of his own ruled out in a tight offside call.

The historic occasion was Michael Carrick’s first game since taking charge of the Reds earlier this week, and there’s no doubting the impact of Fernandes in that huge three-point gain at the Theatre of Dreams.
