Ruben Amorim will be hoping he can give the Man Utd fans something to celebrate this weekend in what has been a season to forget. Languishing in the bottom half of the table, they fell to their 13th league defeat of the season in midweek against Nottm Forest. They’ll need to deliver a vastly improved display against City if they hope to complete their first league double over City since the 2019/20 season.

City will be desperate to avenge their 2-1 loss at the Etihad and need a victory to stay in the race for the top four. Pep Guardiola’s side secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Leicester last time out, with Jack Grealish and Omar Marmoush getting on the scoresheet. Oscar Bobb also returned after eighth months on the sidelines and may well be needed at Old Trafford as Erling Haaland will miss the game through injury.
