Man Utd face quick turnaround before derby
Michael Carrick’s side enter the derby following Thursday night’s 4-0 Champions League victory over Sabah.
Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko and Lisandro Martinez scored as United opened their European campaign with three points.
The schedule leaves United with less recovery time than their rivals.
ReadManUtd has already explained Manchester United’s scheduling disadvantage before the Manchester derby, with City having played Porto on Tuesday.
Carrick had to consider Sunday’s fixture when selecting his team against Sabah, with ReadManUtd’s predicted XI against Sabah highlighting the difficult balance between Champions League commitments and the derby.
