Guardiola loses to Manchester United for the 10th time. Who has beaten the legendary Spaniard more often?

Manchester City suffered a derby defeat and extended their winless streak in the Premier League to four consecutive matches. The Citizens failed to unlock Lammens' goal, while Michael Carrick made a successful debut at the helm of the Red Devils, thanks to goals from Mbeumo and Dorgu.

Interestingly, Manchester City had not lost by a two-goal margin at Old Trafford for nearly six years, and this marked the 10th time in Pep Guardiola's managerial career that he has been defeated by Manchester United. Notably, no other club has beaten the Spaniard more often: both Tottenham and Liverpool have also bested him 10 times each.
