Manchester United have had a disappointing start to their new season under manager Michael Carrick. They have only managed to collect four points from their first three matches. In their most recent game, they were very close to securing a victory against Everton. However, they were denied the win when Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored an incredible late goal.
In contrast, Manchester City are enjoying a much better period under their new manager, Enzo Maresca. Maresca has had a perfect winning start since he took over as the City boss. This weekend will be his very first Manchester derby, and he will certainly want to continue his successful run.
Derby matches are always intense, and both teams have a lot to play for on Sunday. If United win, they can kickstart their season, but City will be difficult to beat. Football fans around the country are looking forward to this exciting clash.
