So it’s the first derby of the season.
It’s a bit odd as in recent years it tends to be away side that gets the win in the derby but in the last 2 seasons Utd have a draw and a win at home last season it even felt like City came and played for a draw very wary of the Utd counter attack threat and how vulnerable they were to that.
Team news for Utd there’s no Varane and for City no Laporte or Torres.
Utd also waiting on the fitness of Lindelof who missed the game midweek that might dictate what formation we play but I’d say it’s almost nailed on we start with the 3-4-1-2 system
DDG
Bailly Maguire Lindelof
AWB McTominay Fred Shaw
Bruno
Cavani Ronaldo
If Lindelof isn’t fit I guess it’ll he Shaw in the back 3 with Telles as left wing back.
I expect Ronaldo will start despite doing the full 90 midweek but Rashford has caused City major problems before so we may see him start alongside either Cavani or Ronaldo.
