Manchester United host their city rivals Manchester City in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Saturday, as part of Premier League round 22 for the 2025-2026 season.
City arrive in resolute form, having bounced back with wins in the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup after a streak of league draws that left them six points off the pace.
Meanwhile, United line up under their new manager, Michael Carrick, still smarting from a FA Cup exit to Brighton and a run of three successive Premier League stalemates.
