Success for Manchester United these days is being the spoiler as Manchester City goes on to eventually claim the league titles. City manager Pep Guardiola's pursuit of a world-record winning streak ended after United won the derby 2-0 on Sunday. A penalty won after 36 seconds when Gabriel Jesus tripped Anthony Martial was converted by Bruno Fernandes, and Luke Shaw netted five minutes into the second half to end City's 21-match winning run in all competitions.

The Catalan, who is masterminding yet another Premier League title win for Manchester City, just has not been able to crack the code when it comes to beating Solskjaer s United.
For all his shortcomings, Solskjaer sure knows how to win a derby match, even when the odds are stacked firmly against his side.
He is the only manager to have won more matches against Guardiola (four) than he has lost (three), and the first United coach to win their first three away games against their rivals from the east side of Manchester.
The latest, on Sunday, was perhaps the best of the lot, as the Red Devils lifted themselves from their recent lethargic displays to end City s 21-match winning run in style, winning 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium in a result that though unlikely to reignite their own title bid, again proves that when Solskjaer gets it right, they can beat any opposition.
