Manchester City vs Manchester United Tactical Preview: Team News, Key Men And Streaming | OneFootball

Manchester derby is finally here as both the renowned sides are about to face each other at the Etihad Stadium this weekend. While City are going through their worst period under Pep Guardiola, United are showing some signs of improvement with their new coach Rubem Amorim.

Ruben Amorim has integrated a 3-4-3 formation and there is no doubt that he will back his formation. His side will probably try to apply more pressure on the opponents. As their transition play is good enough, they can exploit the spaces really well.
