Eight Manchester United players are already proving Antony right about Erik ten Hag

Manchester United announced themselves as contenders in the Premier League title race with Saturday's impressive 2-1 win over arch rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford.

After falling behind to Jack Grealish's close-range header on the hour mark, United flipped the game on its head inside the final quarter of an hour, courtesy of goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. The win moved them to within a point of City in the table and, for just over 24 hours, to within six points of table-toppers Arsenal.

The Gunners, of course, reopened their commanding lead at the top with Sunday's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby, meaning they are now eight points ahead of City and nine points ahead of United, respectively. However, the Reds can reduce the gap to six points with another three-point haul against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday evening, ahead of facing Mikel Arteta's side on Sunday.
