The world talks about this derby but is not as it used to be back in those days when you see the seriousness of both teams, no one wants to give up on the struggle, the challenge for who's better was there but now we see things that doesn't excite the fans.
Like I said before is a one sided game and Manchester United don't even have the quality of players that can march Man City in this derby, to me Manchester City have everything to get hold of that 3 point, starting from the goalkeeper to the attackers they're all good and you look at Man UTD, all you see are players who are just there to make names for themselves. Some players in Manchester United don't have what it takes to be wearing that UTD jersey, when its time for this game we're all going to see Man City running down the players of Manchester United.
Well, what you are talking about is theoretically based. however, in football there is no definite formula for knowing which team will win and play well or not, even though it is filled with talented players on all fronts. but we agree that after all City has a very high probability in this United derby match. moreover, if I refer to it based on various variables, City is far superior in the next match apart from playing at the Etihad Stadium. the point is, for me it doesn't mean that Erik Ten Hag's squad doesn't have a chance to provide resistance. But more importantly, United will not field their full starting eleven in the next match. Based on several references I got, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Hojlund, and several other players are likely to be absent from this United derby match. So it's natural that City is much more favourite. Moreover, if I refer to bookies, Manchester City's odds are very low compared to Manchester United.
Well, it's not certain that what you say will happen, it could be that United, on the other hand, wins points at the Etihad Stadium. I am absolutely sure that Pep is very aware that Erik Ten Hag's squad's counter-attack system is quite dangerous. The point is, City will not underestimate United even though the team opposing City is not supported by some of their core players. I'm very sure that Ten Hag is aware of the team he is opposing. Maybe the Red Devil coach will only target a draw, regardless of whether they have the opportunity to break into City's goal. well, just look at how this match turned out. As a neutral fan, I hope United can provide exciting resistance in this United derby match.
The Manchester derby is a bragging right and in as much as we all know that Manchester United have several players who are injured it still doesn't change the fact that Manchester City will dominate the game from the beginning to the end. Let's say UTD squad are complete without injuries it would be a pleasure for Pep Guardiola's boys to humiliate Manchester United, is like shutting them up and beating them home and away. What we all need to know is that it has already been official that ETH can't make Rashford and the other guys to be a force to stop City.
No doubt, Man UTD can get a point but the percentage of Manchester United to get at least a point is just 25% if not less. One thing we have to know about Pep is that this game is something he can't afford to lose and ETH men can't apply that counter attack you talking about, a team that hardly plays as a unit can't go toe to toe against the Citizens.
