The Premier League returns this weekend with the Manchester derby the pick of the matches.
Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United will make the short trip to face Manchester City at The Etihad, with both sides having endured difficult starts to the new season.
The Red Devils sit ninth in the table with four points, while the Citizens occupy 13th place and haven’t picked up a point since their 4-0 win against Wolves on the opening weekend.
In the meantime, it has emerged that a Russia international is keen to join Manchester United.
According to CaughtOffside, CSKA Moscow winger Kirill Glebov is a huge admirer of Manchester United and dreams of one day joining the club.

The report claims that the 19-year-old has cited the Old Trafford atmosphere, United’s rich tradition, and an admiration for former manager Sir Alex Ferguson as key reasons for his love for the club.
Glebov is a product of CSKA’s youth system and has now played 54 times for the club at senior level, scoring eight goals and providing six assists across all competitions.
In his last six games for the club, he has scored three goals and provided an assist.
The teenager – who can play on either flank – also made his senior debut for Russia earlier this year.
At present he is said to be valued at around £1 million, but the report claims that several clubs in England are taking notice of the youngster.
Arsenal are said to view the Russian attacker as an ideal long-term investment, although it remains to be seen whether or not the north London club will make an offer for the player.
Glebov’s current contract with CSKA Moscow is set to run until the end of the 2026/27 season.
