Man United appear to have a slight advantage over their “noisy neighbours”.
The Manchester derby, the early kick-off today, pits two teams that seem evenly balanced in terms of confidence and depth of talent and have a serious desire to win.
For their part, Man United’s last league title was 10 years ago this year, and by any standard, that is a dismal return for a club that boasts of being the biggest in the world. The emergence of Casemiro as a battle-hardened midfield general and the signings of a couple of other players, particularly Lisandro Martínez and Brazilian winger Antony, have added a new dimension to the make-up and character of this team.
At the time of writing, it is unclear if Dutch striker Wout Weghorst’s proposed transfer to Man United will be completed in time for him to face City. With that, Man United themselves will be wary of a City side that has the outstanding predatory instincts of Erling Haaland.
