The visitors eventually took the lead in the 43rd minute when David Silva was on hand to fire home from close range following a corner to give Pep Guardiola’s men a deserved lead.
United managed to level things up before the break as Marcus Rashford crept in behind the City defence to slot home for 1-1 deep in to first half stoppage time.
However, City retook the lead shortly after half time as Nicolas Otamendi volleyed home from 6 yards after Romelu Lukaku had failed to clear his lines from a Kevin De Bruyne free kick in the 54th minute.
United pushed to find another equaliser but they were denied by a superb double save from Ederson while a strong penalty shout was alsso waived away by the referee as City held on to secure a vital 2-1 win which sees them go 11 points clear.
