Bernando Silva
City were handed an ideal start, going ahead in the seventh minute with an own goal from United defender Eric Bailly who stretched out a leg but turned a low Joao Cancelo cross into his own net.
United, shaky at the back despite playing a three-man central defence, relied on goalkeeper David De Gea to keep them in the game as the Spaniard made a series of saves.
But just before the break, Pep Guardiola's side profited from more woeful United defending with Luke Shaw inexplicably leaving a Cancelo cross deep to the back post, allowing Bernardo Silva to sneak in and poke a shot goalward that crept past De Gea.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United are now winless in their last four home league games, losing three of them. City are second, two-point behind leaders Chelsea who host Burnley later on Saturday.
