City took an early lead through Kevin De Bruyne’s exquisite finish, putting the visitors on the brink of a crucial three points. However, United refused to surrender. In the second half, Bruno Fernandes drew United level with a clinical penalty after Ronaldo was fouled in the area. The Portuguese talisman then took matters into his own hands in the 78th minute. With the ball at his feet on the edge of the box, Ronaldo unleashed a powerful drive that curled into the top corner of the City net. Old Trafford erupted in a cacophony of sound as Ronaldo sent United into raptures. The 37-year-old’s goal marked his 18th league goal of the season, bolstering his case for the Golden Boot. It was also his 200th goal in the Premier League, making him the first player to reach that milestone for two different clubs. City pushed for an equalizer but were unable to find a breakthrough. United held on to secure a vital victory that reignites their top-four hopes. Ronaldo’s performance was lauded by manager Ralf Rangnick. “He showed again that he’s a world-class player,” Rangnick said. “He did fantastic, both for his goals and his work rate. He is a model professional.” The victory gives United a six-point cushion over Arsenal in fifth place, with three games remaining in the season. It also keeps their hopes alive of securing a place in next season’s Champions League. For City, the defeat was a setback in their quest for a fourth consecutive Premier League title. They remain three points clear of Liverpool at the top of the table, but the Reds have two games in hand. As the season draws to a close, the title race is poised to go down to the wire, with both Manchester clubs vying for glory.
