The Irish club legend and former captain was on punditry duty in the Sky Sports studio on Saturday evening, to witness an all-action display in the derby that was full of desire, heart and togetherness.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring on 23 minutes with a nerveless penalty before Anthony Martial doubled the advantage six minutes later, as part of a dominant first-half performance from United.
Naturally, the home side City fought back in the second half and scored a late consolation strike via the head of substitute Nicolas Otamendi, but the Reds held firm to secure three Premier League points.
