While goals were hard to come by in the Premier League over the weekend, there were still plenty of intriguing narratives that emerged in England's top-flight, while elsewhere around Europe there was plenty of entertainment to be had ahead of the return of the Champions League this midweek.

Shaqueel van Persie, the son of legendary Dutch striker Robin van Persie, scored his first professional goals as Feyenoord played out a seven-goal thriller with Rotterdam rivals Sparta on Sunday. Van Persie junior made just his third career appearance as he replaced Casper Tengstedt midway through the second half in the Rotterdam Derby, and almost salvaged a draw for his team.

Patrice Evra has called out Manchester City star Rayan Cherki for "not respecting" Manchester United following Saturday's derby clash at Old Trafford. In their first game under Michael Carrick, United eased to a 2-0 home win over the Cityzens to further derail their rivals' Premier League title bid. Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu both netted in the second half to wrap up the victory.

Lisandro Martinez has invited Manchester United legends Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt to his house for showdown talks. A couple of former Red Devils stars were hardly glowing in their assessment of Martinez ahead of his derby meeting with Erling Haaland, but the Argentine defender had the last laugh and pointed out that “no-one says anything in your face”.

Wayne Rooney has stunned football supporters by revealing that he is deaf in his left ear. The former England captain, who is Manchester United’s all-time leading goalscorer, has returned to punditry duty since putting a troubled managerial career on hold. He is never shy of sharing an opinion, but does have special requests that need to be met before stepping in front of the camera.

The words, "It's Carrick, you know, it's hard to believe it's not Scholes" reverberated around Old Trafford during Manchester United's stunning 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday, and watching the Red Devils tear into their local rivals with gusto while putting the ball in the net five times, it was hard to believe that Ruben Amorim was in charge of this team for so long but never got them to play like this.

Roy Keane has downplayed calls for interim Manchester United boss Michael Carrick to be given the job full-time after their 2-0 win over Manchester City. The former Red Devils midfielder has been tasked with guiding his old club for the rest of the season but ex-Liverpool man Daniel Sturridge suggested Carrick could take the position permanently. United legend Keane, though, was having none of it.

Michael Carrick’s announcement as the new Manchester United manager had a stunning, instant impact in one of the most important matches of the season and Lisandro Martinez has revealed how the new boss inspired the 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday. Carrick issued one clear message to his players, who responded with their best performance of the season.

Wayne Rooney has revealed there are only two teams he would return to management for after his sorry spells at Birmingham City and Plymouth Argyle. The former Manchester United and England striker has struggled for success in his coaching career so far, being sacked very early on during his two most recent roles. However, he has not ruled out a return to the dugout if two certain clubs come calling.

Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes starred as Manchester United pulled off a wholly unexpected 2-0 win over Manchester City in a euphoric return to the Red Devils' dugout for Michael Carrick. United made a blistering start and scored two offside goals in a convincing first half. After the break, they continued where they left off and deservedly won the game thanks to strikes from Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu.
