Manchester United are now less than 24 hours away from hosting Manchester City at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag's side have enjoyed a relatively positive week in the build up, beating FC Copenhagen on Tuesday and going into the 191st Manchester derby with some momentum.

They will hope to welcome Casemiro back for the clash, with the Brazilian facing a race against time to be fit following an injury picked up on international duty.

United have also been boosted by news of Aaron Wan-Bissaka's return to training earlier this week. The right-back has been out of action for six weeks, however, and is not expected to be available for the derby.

Stam shares Ten Hag verdict Jaap Stam says Erik ten Hag has struggled to instil a style of play at Manchester United, adding that players bought for big fees are yet to live up to their price tag.

The former United defender hailed his countryman as a “good manager” and says Sunday’s derby is an opportunity to bolster confidence in the squad after a shaky start, but suggested that the United boss needs to make better choices.
