Goals from Ronaldo, Cavani and Rashford ensured a 5th win of the season that keeps United in 5th place with 17 points.
On the other hand, Manchester City beat Club Brugge 4-1 in their UCL clash in mid-week to keep their qualification within their hands.
However, in the Premier League the defending champions were beaten 2-0 at home by Crystal Palace last week.
Zaha and Gallagher scored in either half to inflict a 2nd loss of the season on City. City hope to turn things around as they slipped 5 points behind league leaders, Chelsea.

Prediction: Man United 2-1 Man City
This is set to be a riveting clash between the two neighbours. With plenty of matchups within the contest, we expect an exciting and intriguing clash.
United’s defensive frailties vs Man City’s attacking threat remains the big tussle.
But with United’s strike man, Ronaldo in clinical touch we expect the Red Devils to head in with a lot more confidence.
We foresee Man United nicking this clash.
Players to watch out for: Ronaldo, Van de Beek, Foden and Rodri.
