Not many United fans remember their former manager Louis van Gaal too fondly, but this was one of the Dutch manager’s finest moments in charge of the Red Devils. With Chelsea running away with the Premier League title, both City and United were in a fight for a Champions League spot. Sergio Aguero continued his excellent record in derbies, giving City a lead inside the first ten minutes, his 100thin a City shirt in all competitions.

But Untied came back strong, and were ahead by half time thanks to goals from Ashley Young and Marouane Fellaini. United kept up their dominance after half time, with Juan Mata and Chris Smalling adding goals. Aguero got his second in the closing minutes, but it was too late to deny United the victory. Despite the result, both sides finished in the top four and qualified for the Champions League.
