Manchester City caused a major upset at Old Trafford by beating United 2-1 in the Manchester derby to complete a league double over their city rivals.

First-half goals from Darius Vassell and debutant Benjani were enough as Michael Carrick’s effort in stoppage time proved to be a mere consolation.

It was an emotional day at Old Trafford with the 50th anniversary of the Munich disaster being remembered with old-fashioned style kits and an impeccably observed minute’s silence by both sets of fans.

However, after a tough week, United looked sluggish, and they badly missed the suspended Wayne Rooney, with Cristiano Ronaldo not at his usual troublesome best as he struggled to make an impact from a more central position.
