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.
