Pep Guardiola delivered a rallying speech inside the Old Trafford dressing room to help drive his Manchester City team to the Premier League title after a vital 2-0 win against their arch-rivals last season.

Billed as the make-or-break match, City headed to United back in April with Liverpool hot on their tails in the race for the title.

Goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane earned City a huge victory to take them one step closer to a second successive league triumph.
