Manchester: Manchester City are 14 points adrift of runaway leaders Premier League leaders Liverpool after a 2-1 derby defeat to Manchester United that was marred by alleged racist abuse aimed at United midfielder Fred and Jesse Lingard.
On the field, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial scored the goals for the visitors, who survived a late onslaught after Nicolas Otamendi pulled a goal back to inflict a fourth league defeat of the season on Pep Guardiola's men. United remain eight points adrift of their neighbours, but move up to fifth and within five points of fourth-placed Chelsea to haul themselves back into contention for a return to the Champions League next season.

Solskjaer said both Fred and teammate Jesse Lingard had been "affected" by the alleged abuse. "It's not City's fault, it's his. Nothing to do with Man City as a football club," said the United boss. "He's been caught on camera and he should never be allowed into a football ground again, it's unacceptable."
