The Citizens brought back their big guns after the FA Cup win over Peterborough, while United were without Cristiano Ronaldo due to a hip injury, as Anthony Elanga joined Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes upfront.
Man United were absorbing the pressure and hit City on a counter-attack in the 22nd minute after Jadon Sancho levelled matters with a curling strike into the far post after Paul Pogba picked out his run.
