Manchester United beating Manchester City 2-1 is something that will have brought plenty of joy to many of their supporters.

Goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial were enough to get one over on their city rivals, meaning Pep Guardiola’s side now sit 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool.

It also means that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a very popular man at Old Trafford, after beating Jose Mourinho and Guardiola within the space of a week.

The United manager’s enjoyment was clear to see when he spoke after the final whistle blew on the Manchester Derby.

The very first thing Solskjaer said during his interview, published on Manchester United’s Twitter page, was “painted the city red”.

This is something that many of the club’s fans smugly picked up on, putting their focus on this in the replies.

What made this even sweeter for some of them is that they felt “it was always red”, meaning that normal service was being resumed.

That still didn’t detract from the joy they were feeling following their victory against the men in blue, or the pride they were feeling for Solskjaer.

There were plenty of messages of support for him, with one fan declaring “he will take us back to the top of English football”.

No clues: Can you name the Man Utd result purely based on these images? Give it a go now…

Plenty of pressure has been placed on the 46-year-old’s job security, with The Times having reported that players felt the need to ask for their manager not to be sacked.

However, things will certainly be looking up for Solskjaer following this result and performance.

In other news, a Man United legend has praised their performance, admitting that he didn’t see it coming.
