MANCHESTER United travel to the Etihad for a blockbuster clash with Manchester City TODAY!
The Red Devils claimed their first win of the season last time out as Bruno Fernandes‘ 97th-minute penalty secured a 3-2 win over newly promoted Burnley.

Ruben Amorim will have good memories of the Etihad after his side won 2-1 on rival soil in the Portuguese’s first taste of the Manchester derby last season.
The former Sporting boss will be hoping for more of the same and his side will take confidence from the fact City have lost back-to-back games.
That said, Amorim has been dealt a huge blow in his preparations for today’s game with new £62.5million forward Matheus Cunha unavailable.
Why is Matheus Cunha not playing for Man Utd vs Man City?
Cunha picked up a hamstring injury during Man Utd’s 3-2 win over Burnley before the international break.
The Brazilian was forced off just 30 minutes into the Premier League clash with the Clarets.

Cunha later withdrew from international duty with Brazil, sparking fears over his involvement in today’s Manchester derby.
And on Friday, Amorim confirmed that Cunha, along with Mason Mount and Diogo Dalot, will be unavailable for the trip to the Etihad.
Due to injuries to two of Amorim’s preferred front three, new £74m striker Benjamin Sesko could make his first Prem start for the club.
