Local bragging rights are on offer at Old Trafford later as Manchester United hosts Manchester City in the Premier League.
Both sides would likely rather forget this season, although they will be hoping to end it on a high by winning the derby. United will be looking to do the double over their neighbors, with Ruben Amorim’s side looking to bounce back after defeat to Nottingham Forest during the week.
City, meanwhile, still has a lot of work to do to secure a Champions League place for next season. Pep Guardiola’s team currently sits fifth in the table, which may prove to be enough for a spot at Europe’s top table.
