The third Manchester United game in the list features one of the dramatic Manchester derbies which saw United complete a comeback in front of their away fans.

Manchester City were off to a flying start as Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan scored in quick succession to give their side a healthy 2-0 lead in the first half. With everyone expecting a comfortable victory for the home side, Jose Mourinho's side produced one of their best second-half performances ever to overcome a two-goal deficit against the top side in the league.

Paul Pogba was their hero of the day as the Frenchman scored two goals in the span of two minutes to send the United fans into jubilation. The Red Devils completed the impossible turnaround in the 69th minute through Chris Smalling who calmly slotted the ball past Ederson who was left helpless by his back-line. This extraordinary comeback victory against their rivals would go down as one of the best games of Manchester United under Jose Mourinho.
