Man United Aim for Derby Double Against City

Manchester United face Manchester City in a crucial derby match with both teams experiencing challenging seasons. United, under Ruben Amorim, aim to complete their first Premier League double over City since 2019-20, having previously defeated them 2-1 at the Etihad. City, struggling with injuries to key players like Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, focus on securing a top-five spot for Champions League qualification. United's squad also deals with injuries, with doubts over Matthijs de Ligt, but Kobbie Mainoo returns to training. Pep Guardiola has expressed empathy for Amorim's position, emphasizing the difficulty of managerial transitions mid-season. Despite United's current 13th-place standing, Amorim has a record of success against Guardiola, having defeated City twice this season across different competitions.
