The red devils won Arsenal 3-1 in the premier league and finished the group stage round of the Champions League triumphantly after beating CSKA Moscow 2-1 on Tuesday night.
And the big question on the lips of everyone is: Can Jose Mourinho beat Pep Guardiola this season?
Manchester City lost their first game of the season to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Wednesday night, but they are yet to lose a single game in the premier league this season, winning their last 13 league games.
And as far as Man United’s team news is concerned, it has been confirmed that the likes of Phil Jones and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are expected to participate in the Manchester Derby on Sunday.
Jones has been impressive this season and is expected to start in the defense with the duo of Smalling and Rojo.
Summer signing Romelu Lukaku is currently struggling at Old Trafford, and Mourinho is likely to get him benched on Sunday. The Portuguese tactician is expected to give Ibrahimovic his first start of the season.
With De Gea in-between the sticks, here is Man United’s strongest possible 3-4-2-1 XI vs Man City.
GK – De Gea
DC – Rojo
DC – Jones
DC – Smalling
ML – Young
MC – Matic
