Manchester United are showing signs of returning to their brilliant best ahead of this weekend's derby, says Lee Sharpe.
Jose Mourinho has overseen three wins from as many league matches - a feat matched by his City rival Pep Guardiola as they prepare to renew a fierce rivalry on Saturday.
Sharpe, who won three Premier League titles at Old Trafford, watched United's last-gasp 1-0 win at Hull City prior to the international break and liked what he saw.
"It took me a little bit back to old United," he said. "Hull made it really difficult for them defensively, yet they kept going and you could see at some point in the game that they were going to score.
"I think under Louis van Gaal they were a little bit sedate when they were chasing a game or chasing a winner towards the end, whereas this was like the Alamo.
"They were just going that whole last 20 minutes and it just so happens they scored in good old 'Fergie time'.
