Manchester United defeated their noisy neighbors Manchester City 1-0 today to move just one point behind the Citizens for the final, crucial top four slot. United still remain behind West Ham though due to goal differential. Nevertheless, the Red Devils are very much alive now in a newly invigorated season that could have been left for dead had they dropped points in this one.
Paraphrasing Dumb & Dumber, Louis van Gaal, everything I think you couldn’t be worse, you go an do something like this and totally redeem yourself. It was quite a dull game for most of the duration, but he had a very exciting finish as City striker Sergio Aguero blew an exciting scoring chance.

City were in second place, just three points off the top of the table, on February 1st when Pep Guardiola was announced the new manager at Manchester City. Today, they’re 15 points off.
Yes, City have now advanced further in UEFA Champions League than they ever have before, but it really seems like they’re putting all their eggs in the UCL basket right now.
