"Manchester is red, violets are blue. What a brilliant performance, but the Oscar goes to...," Højlund captioned his post insinuating Walker acted in the moment trying to get him sent off for violent conduct. The second photo of the carousel is the two players coming together.

Ruben Amorim's first Manchester derby might not have went according to plan in terms of the timeline of events, but he'll be pleased that he emerged victorious.

He'll be proud of the fight his team showed as he continues to install his tactical system and figure out which players will work moving forward. Notably, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were left out the matchday squad.

For Pep Guardiola, it's another loss winning just one of his last 11 games in all competitions this season. A nightmarish run has gotten even worse with a loss to its fierce rival.
