It's a fight against the two then although the only reason why I feel Manchester united would be having an upper hand in the race would be because of the influence of the present coach as he was the former coach of the striker and would have more leverage in convincing him to come play and help united in their quest to refurbish the old glory of the Manchester united we know.
At the moment Manchester United should have more luck when meeting Manchester City who in their last ten games have only managed to win one match when hosting Nottingham Forest. So Manchester United can take more steps to make more surprises through their new manager's breakthroughs this weekend when they play as guests at Manchester City's home later. Because Manchester City are in a less than good condition so the level of luck for the match should be more potential for Manchester United to get this weekend.
Manchester United and Manchester City are both in a slump right now so I don't think there is one that has the advantage in this weekend's Manchester derby, in fact I see the overall strength of both teams and I think Manchester City is still stronger than Manchester United especially since the match will be played at the Etihad Stadium which will certainly make it much more difficult for Manchester United with their new coach.
The Derby match are always going to have high tension because both teams don't want to lost and Manchester City is not in the good shape and i don't know what happend to them but some people says why the current Manchester City looks unstable because they were fatigue from their mentally so that's why for every matches we can see Manchester City players looks lost their motivation to win and Manchester United too is not so different because Amorim still hasn't bringing positive impact for them even the latest is Manchester United lost from Nottingham Forest and it's very interesting to know who is the winner of this Derby but as a host indeed Manchester City is the favourite
