For the first time in a decade, the Manchester derby did not feature Pep Guardiola, with the legendary coach having stepped down from his role at Manchester City at the conclusion of last season.
In his place stepped Enzo Maresca, his former City assistant and ex-Chelsea boss, who waltzed into Old Trafford on Sunday with confidence, unbeaten in his start to life in the Premier League as the Cityzens’ new head coach.
