Manchester United vs Manchester City LiveWatch Man Utd take on Man City live in the first Manchester derby of the new season. After last weekends furore surrounding Manchester City the heat doesn’t cool down this week as they take on Manchester United in a match not be missed. After Sir Alex described Man City as being “a small club with a small mentality” earlier in the year he certainly can’t afford for his Man Utd team to lose or he may never be able to live down that statement.
If that wasn’t enough to crank up the heat ahead of this meeting Man City manager Mark Hughes has said this week that Man Utd are a weakened side, so he himself will need a result to back up his own statement. With all the attacking forces that Man City have invested in this summer amazingly they could be light up front with Robinho out injured, Adebayor suspended while Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez are serious doubts with knee injuries.
There are less worries for Man Utd with Paul Scholes suspended and Rio Ferdinand being their only concern with a groin injury but he could make the starting line up. It has been a long time since Manchester City have really got up the noses of Manchester United but this season City have a real belief that they could push United all the way. A win for Mark Hughes’ side at Old Trafford this weekend will really make their city rivals stand up and take notice and could give a good indication of where they are going to finish up this season.
