Manchester United lined up without striker Robin van Persie, who injured his thigh in training on Saturday, and Manuel Pellegrini’s side took full advantage with a commanding display against their local rivals.
Sergio Aguero gave City the lead with a clever volley on 16 minutes, before Yaya Toure doubled the hosts’ lead of the stroke of half-time. Aguero produced another volley early in the second half and Samir Nasri threatened a rout when he made it 4-0 in the 50th minute.
There were no further goals for the hosts but bragging rights assuredly belong to the blue half of Manchester even if Wayne Rooney provided United fans with a consolatory free-kick late in the game, for a record-breaking 11th Manchester derby goal.
