Rúben Amorim has etched his name into Manchester United folklore after becoming just the second manager in the club's history to win his first Manchester derby.

A thrilling 2-1 victory over fierce rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday saw Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo score the goals that secured three vital points.

Amorim's achievement is made all the more impressive by the fact that he joins Sir Alex Ferguson, the club's legendary former manager, as the only other United boss to win on his derby debut. Ferguson's reign at Old Trafford was defined by his success in this fixture, and Amorim will be hoping to follow in his footsteps.

The Portuguese tactician has made a significant impact since taking over at Old Trafford earlier this season. His side have been playing an attractive brand of football and have shown a real appetite for the fight.

Sunday's victory was a huge boost for Amorim and his players. It not only moved United up the Premier League table but also sent a clear message to the rest of the league that they are a force to be reckoned with.

A tactical masterclass

Amorim's tactical approach was spot on. He set his team up to frustrate City and hit them on the counter-attack. The strategy worked perfectly, as United were able to create a number of good chances throughout the game.

Fernandes' penalty gave United the lead, but City hit back through a Gvradiol goal. However, Diallo's late strike sealed the victory for the Red Devils.

A bright future for United

Amorim's appointment has breathed new life into Manchester United. The club has a young and exciting squad, and the Portuguese manager is clearly building something special at Old Trafford.

With Amorim at the helm, the future looks bright for Manchester United.
