Manchester United v Manchester City: Gut Feelings

Key Highlights

• Semenyo has scored twice in his first two matches (technically three if it wasn’t for VAR), and the signing of Guehi will shore up the defence, especially at a time of a defensive crisis. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementUnited are in disarray at the moment.
• The latest saviour to enter Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim, was dismissed and now, Michael Carrick, an apparent ‘legend’ at the club, is the man tasked with saving United’s season from mid-table obscurity. They have won three of their last 13 games, and, having lost in the League Cup to Grimsby, no European football and Brighton knocking them out of the FA Cup last weekend, a high-placed finish is all they now have to play for, and the Reds will be desperate for a win against the Blues to keep their Conference League aspirations alive. It’s a derby that City will no doubt go into as favourites, but they will need to be wary with United playing the first of their seventeen remaining cup finals. As always, our team are are to give us their views and opinions on Saturday’s match.
