Manchester's winning weekend as City and United triumph
Reds batter Leicester 4-1 while Blues beat Swansea for the second time in a week.
United and City fans were cheering this weekend as both sides scored impressive wins in the Premier League.
The Reds defeated Champions Leicester City at Old Trafford thanks to a ten minute goal frenzy which saw United enter the break 4-0 up. Goals from Chris Smalling, Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba were enough to end the tie as a contest, although the visitors did manage to pull a goal back in the second half to make the final result a more respectable 4-1.
Before the game the talk was of Jose Mourinho's decision to drop Wayne Rooney and after the match the manager seemed justified in his actions.
Mourinho noted:
"If I don't play Rashford you ask me why, if I don't play Lingard you ask me why, and you prefer always to ask why somebody is not playing.
"Sometimes when I read you I feel like I know nothing about football but there is one thing I know - the rules of the game. And I only can start with XI.
"I think the result was because we started very well and we didn't stop until we closed the game. When the team plays well it's easier to have good individual performances so I don't think it was because of the changes.
"My captain is my captain. If he is on the pitch he feels at home. That's not a problem. But we thought today against a team like Leicester, the way they defend, the profile of their defenders, we thought that the best solution for us was to play with the two fast kids and Mata in a position where he can interact with these young kids. It went well for us.''
City continued their emphatic start to the season with a 3-1 win over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. A Sergio Aguero brace and a Raheem Sterling goal were enough to see Pep Guardiola comfortably take all three points.
Swansea have been linked with Ryan Giggs as manager Francesco Guidolin feels the pressure of his side's poor start to the season.
Pep Guardiola said Aguero who's managed a staggering 11 goals in just six games this season could actually do even more.
Guardiola noted:
"Congratulations to him Aguero, especially for his first goal,'' Guardiola said. I am so happy for him, but he knows I want more.
"He can play better, he can make other things that are going to help us."
