Following the all-important victory Sane spoke of the importance of the victory of United.

“Amazing. Really happy about this win today because it’s the Derby. It’s an important game and it’s also really important for the Premier League.

“I think when you have the Derby and you win this big game it gives us a lot of confidence. Especially with three games left to play, every one of us wants to do the back-to-back.”
