One of the most anticipated matches of the weekend will be the encounter between Manchester United and Manchester City. This is one of the most important derbies in the Premier League, with both teams hoping to come away with all three points by the time the final whistle blows on the game.
When it comes to stopping them in today’s encounter, there are two Manchester United players that could give the Cityzen defence a headache. The Red Devils are currently in the process of regaining their composure following a recent bad showing. They had gone four games without a win in a row before this encounter.
After a comfortable 3-0 victory over Tottenham, the team’s fortunes took an unexpected turn. It was their second clean sheet of the season.
Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo are two players who could cause problems for Manchester City’s defensive line in today’s derby. These two have been outstanding in recent matches, and they have played a significant role in their club’s recent victory.
Cristiano Ronaldo assisted his team in securing a point during their Champions League trip to face Atalanta in the middle of the week. He scored twice, the most recent of which came in the 94th minute, allowing them to keep their hopes of qualifying for the next round alive.
Rashford, on the other hand, has been fantastic each and every time he has stepped onto the field so far this campaign. He had been out of the game for two months following shoulder surgery. His first game back was against Leicester City, where he came off the bench to score a fantastic goal.
Afterwards, he scored against Atalanta and Tottenham, giving him three goals in as many games. It is possible that the pace of Rashford and Cristiano’s excellent finishing abilities will aid their club in their victory over their old rivals, Manchester City, on today’s matchday.
With Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford leading the Manchester United assault, it’s possible that the Man City defense may have a difficult time containing them, given that they’ve been in excellent form in recent matches
