Manchester City is undoubtedly the favorite in Manchester United vs Manchester City match. Manchester City's performance this season has been consistent and strong. But Manchester United started the season badly but now their performance is quite stable. They have been able to score full points consistently in the last four matches. So it will not be easy for Manchester City to win the match. Ten Hag will certainly want to maintain their consistency and earn points.
I think if Manchester United can score the first goal in this match then United will win the match or it will be a draw. And if Manchester City scores the first goal then City will easily win this match.
I want united to win this match as a united fan but this win will definitely depend on either Rashford or Martial been available for the match. The reason is City will have more of the ball in this match so united need pacey players that can hit them on counter attack. With Bruno and Erickson in the midfield it will be a feast day if Rashford is fit
If Manchester United wins this match, the fight for the title will be more intense. Manchester United have been out of contention for the title so far, but if they manage to beat Manchester City, I think United will be fighting for the title as well. However, it is very difficult for United to beat Manchester City. Manchester City's defense, midfield and forwards are more stable and strong than Manchester United's in all three positions. I would say that if Ten Hag wants to score points in this match, they should play a defensive strategy and try to draw the match. If Manchester United plays aggressively, Manchester City can easily score on the counterattack.
