Next Match its Manchester United vs Manchester City. Who will win?

However, the success was achieved without Ferdinand, who was forced to sit out a tight match in Istanbul with a groin injury.

The England international, who only returned from a calf injury in last weekend's 3-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur, is now facing a race against time to be fit for the visit of Manchester City on Sunday.

Manchester United brought Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten start to an end after coming back from behind.

United were a goal down after a minute and reduced to 10 men but still recorded victory in a pulsating match at White Hart Lane that ended Tottenham's 100 per cent start to the Barclays Premier League season.

Jermain Defoe's acrobatic strike opened the scoring but United have a history of comebacks against Spurs - 5-2 last season and 5-3 eight years ago - and they levelled through Ryan Giggs' free-kick.

Anderson drilled home before the break, and despite playing the last half an hour without Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney sealed victory with a cool finish before the end.
