City leads Liverpool by six points with one game remaining following a win that was probably even more impressive than the score implies.
Ralf Rangnick's team was missing injured Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani, as well as Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw, who both have Covid-19, and were outclassed by the defending champions' talent and effort.
Kevin de Bruyne was the driving force behind it all. He put City ahead early on with a neat finish, then restored their advantage just before half-time when Jadon Sancho equalized for United with a low shot, the Belgian's second smashed in in a goalmouth melee.
After the break, City picked up the pace and deservedly scored after 68 minutes when Riyad Mahrez met De Bruyne's corner on the half-volley to past United goalkeeper David de Gea. The goal came as a result of a deflection from United captain Harry Maguire, who had a terrible afternoon.
City's fortunes improved in the final minutes as Mahrez sprinted free to beat De Gea, the goal being awarded after a long VAR probe for offside.
