UK Back Pages: Manchester United Hailed for Throttling Manchester City

Monday's back pages are as red as Manchester is after United's Manchester derby triumph over neighbours City. 

The Red Devils extended their hold on third place to four points over their fierce rivals and stayed a point behind Arsenal in second after an emphatic 4-2 beatdown at Old Trafford on Sunday. 

They're the talk of the press for their efforts. 

"We'll Knock 'Em Red" is what Mirror Sport runs with:

Sun Sport speculates in the aftermath that Manuel Pellegrini's days as the City boss may be numbered, as they've gone from a title challenge to a fight for fourth place in a matter of months:
