Manchester United will look to bounce back from their previous defeat against Forest as they will host their rivals, Manchester City, on Sunday. The Red Devils are going through some tough times on and off the pitch, as there have been a lot of issues this season for them. A lot of expectations were there when United replaced Erik Ten Hag with Ruben Amorim as their head coach, but things are not going according to their plan.
As of now, United are currently sitting in the 13th spot. In 30 league games this season, they have won 10 games, drawn seven and lost 13 games. Even though injury issues have hampered their season, they will still look to get as many points as possible from the remaining games. They have already defeated City this season and will look to do it again.
Not many people expected City to be out of the title race so soon this season, but overall, they will be very disappointed with their performance. City’s dream of winning five titles in a row is gone, and they are also out of the Champions League. They still can win a trophy this season as they have qualified for the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
In 30 matches, they have won 15 games, drawn six and lost nine, with 51 points on the table. They are fourth on the Premier League table and will look to get the UCL spot for sure. Facing United away from home will not be an easy task for sure, and they will have to be at their best to get a positive result. This will be a mouthwatering clash, for sure.
Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Ayden Heaven and Jonny Evans are all injured and will not be available for selection. The rest of the players are fit to play for the home team.
John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and Erling Haaland all are injured and will not play against United. The rest of the players are fit to play.
