It is time for the first Manchester derby of the season as underfire manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to keep his job safe when defending champions Manchester City come visiting Old Trafford. The Red Devils start the contest fifth in the table, three points off Manchester City. Their win over Tottenham Hotspur brought a two-game losing streak. The vast majority of fans have lost faith in the Glazers regime and doubt if the club could ever challenge for the top honours. Manchester City has not had the best of results lately as well as they were knocked out of Carabao Cup by West Ham United on penalties and also beaten connivingly by Crystal Palace in the league. They have struggled against Manchester United in the last few encounters and it will be interesting to see how they respond. Manchester United versus Manchester City will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed on Hotstar from 6:00 PM IST. How to Watch Manchester United vs Manchester City?
Raphael Varane is out for a month for Manchester United while Paul Pogba misses out due to suspension. Victor Lindelof is likely to start with Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly in the backline. Edinson Cavani has a fitness problem and that will see Marcus Rashford alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in a two-man forward line. Fred and Scott McTominay may have their fair share of detractors but the duo will slot in the midfield. Aymeric Laporte is suspended for the visit to Old Trafford after getting his marching orders against Crystal Palace while Ferran Torres is injured. Bernardo Silva has been highly influential for the visitors in midfield but Kevin de Bruyne needs to get back to his usual best. Phil Foden is set to be the false nine for Manchester City with Jack Grealish and Gabriel Jesus on the flanks. Manchester United lacks the defensive composure needed to get the better of their city rivals and this will likely lead to another defeat.
