Man United Vs Man City LIVE Score, Premier League 2025-26: Red Devils Bring Heat In Manchester Derby

Amad Diallo whips in a teasing cross and Bryan Mbeumo gets up well in the middle, aiming his header goalward. A City body throws itself in the way just in time. Another sharp United move, another reminder that this derby is being played at full tilt.

Diogo Dalot flies in a little too hard, the ref reaches straight for the pocket, and United’s right-back goes into the book. Early yellow, early warning, tackles are flying, tempers are bubbling, and this derby is only getting hotter.

The Manchester derby is underway and it wastes no time finding its edge. Doku gives away an early foul, setting the tone, before United crank up the pressure straight from a corner. Bruno whips it in, Maguire powers a header from six yards, and the bar saves City. A corner follows, the crowd is already roaring, and three minutes in, this game is crackling with tension.
