JAKARTA - Manchester United managed to overthrow their city rivals, Manchester City, with a score of 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, December 15, 2024.

Ruben Amorim said that he was proud of his players for believing something magical could happen in "Fergie Time".

The Red Devils trailed 1-0 until the game was almost over. However, Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty in the 88th minute and Amad Diallo -- who was hailed as unstoppable by his captain - scored the winning goal in stoppage time, like Sir Alex Ferguson's old team.

Fergie Time is famous for being sparked to describe Ferguson's Manchester United often scoring goals in stoppage time.

"It was incredible. I think we deserved to win. It was a very difficult match, but we believed it until the end."

"We managed to score a goal, we needed that win, that's important to us and to our supporters," Amorim told the BBC.

"We played for 90 minutes and it was great. We talked about the game against Arsenal. We played well in the first half at that time, but they didn't believe we could win. Against Manchester City was much different."

"I also believe. Then we have Fergie Time. We put everything together and something magical happened. It was a good day for us," said the coach again.

Manchester United's victory over Manchester City, which is under pressure, is an extraordinary victory for the atmosphere.

He still maintains his record meeting with The Citizens. As is known, days before flying to Old Trafford, Amorim brought Sporting CP to a 4-1 win against Pep Guardiola's men in the Champions League.

The victory also stopped the Red Devils' two consecutive defeats in the 2024/2025 Premier League while visiting Arsenal headquarters (0-2) and hosting Nottingham Forest (2-3).

"They (fans) need it. Just like us, but you can see the way they celebrate it specially. However, we have to keep going."

"Our club needs to win a game like this. I understand the happiness of our supporters, but we have to keep going."

"We need to improve a lot, but today the players deserved to win. They fought until the last minute and that's important to us," Amorim said.
