Manchester United face City at Old Trafford in a game which is set to be explosive, competitive and a major test for Erik ten Hag's team. How far have United come since the 6-3 defeat at the Etihad earlier this season? We're going to find out on Saturday.
What's your prediction for the derby?
I hope Dalot is fit…without Dalot and Bruno on the right we don't threaten city as much on that side as wan bissaka and Bruno can't threaten the right directly but with Dalot I'm feeling it Manu 2 City 0.
I honestly think Fred should start as we need his energy his pressing against City's midfield.
I'd play this line up
De Gea
Dalot Varane Martinez Shaw
Fred Casemiro Bruno
Antony Martial Rashford
Subs Butland Wan Bissaka Lindelof Eriksen McTominay Garnacho Pellistri Weghorst Malacia Elanga
Even if Weghourst gets registered starting him against city will be a sad statement for Martial. I hope Martial starts.
I think martial gets dropped and Bruno plays false 9
2 – 1 to United, City will be shocked.
Totally disagree with starting Fred and putting Bruno on the wing. We should stick with our regular best eleven. We are playing at home and should attack them not sit back and invite them to attack us. City's defence are abysmal right now and we have a chance to take advantage.
Ten Hag is going to play 5-3-2 with :
Rashy Antony
Bruno
Casemiro Eriksen
Shaw Dalot
Martinez Maguire Varane
Martial will start, Elanga was horrible
Hello from America. Ajax is my club followed by United. Huge Martinez fan. Enjoy the channel!
Mu 3 city 1 here we gooo
Please increase the volume on your videos a bit more
Weghorst is the same set up like haller playing in the attack in Ajax
I still remember when shaw got his leg broke hes a machine to come bk full stop mist footballers career over thank u luke shaw
You've got the best of Eleven, big Sam
We gonna beat them 2-0 are you kidding lol?
Legit laughed out loud when you called Fred a Wasp 🤣
3-1 Man U of which nothing can stop the train going forward……
Completely agree about the midfield. Thisnis the game for Fred. He can have a Fletcher/Park like impact
Imagine we have a Van Persie or Ibrahimovic in this team. No team would stand a chance against that!
This Draw is written in the sky.
Love the jersey👊🏼💥
Martinez been looking shaky since the world cup.
Keep up the good work' but we need trophies. United for Life 🧬
What is your name
Bruno plays best in the mid. never play bruno in the wings.
I agree with you, on starting line up and score prediction. Let’s continue the form! 💪
My change would be, Garnacho starts on the left, rashy in the middle and Bruno on the right
My score prediction, 3-1 United,thats my head not my heart for first time since fergie
I don't think Fred will start. Antony will still start, then Pellistri or Fred will sub on for him depending on how the score is looking (Pellistri if we need a goal, Fred if we need to protect the lead). Look for Martial to be subbed and Garnacho to come into left wing, Rashford into the centre as well.
I’d love to see that lineup.
United wins 3-1 mark my words.
Anthony shud play sorry and I think fernades be in the middle not fred
Thank goodness Sam isnt the Manager selecting the team or we would really blow any chance of Champions league.
I don't think Fred is the wisest choice in midfield, he's too risky against City's solid midfield army, you need a safe pair of hands. He will come on later I think. It'll be the usual with Bruno Eriksen and Casemiro. Antony is the only good right winger we've got, and I think he could be more useful in the transition against a high-pressing City, similar to the Arsenal strategy with Antony.
Full Backs these days are a partner ship in City one inverts the other hits the overlap, in Liverpool most games dont finish without trent and robbo switching to each other, Ten Hag seems to be Developing a Hybrid of both ernso you were correct in saying its a partnership
Fred does not have the discipline to play there, he overcommits in tackles and needs a partner to cover him when he does so. Put him next to Casemiro where they play in the Brasil team
