Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon as they face Manchester City at Old Trafford in the first derby of the season.
The Manchester derby comes just after United's dominant 4-0 win against Sabah FK in the Champions League on Thursday evening. City also played in the Champions League; two goals from Erling Haaland handed Enzo Maresca's side three points on Tuesday evening against Porto.
City have won all three Premier League matches this season, while United have looked less than convincing in a loss against Hull City and a draw against Everton.
Man Utd vs Man City: Date, kick-off time, venue
The last time Manchester United saw defeat at Old Trafford against Manchester City was in 2023 under Erik ten Hag, with Michael Carrick picking up three points last term in his first game in charge.
Carrick had just three days of training before facing Pep Guardiola's side last season, but impressed as Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu netted a goal apiece in the second half to clinch victory.
City will return to Old Trafford at 16:30 BST on Sunday, 13 September.

Man Utd injury news vs Man City
Michael Carrick has a few injury concerns ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend – most notably Luke Shaw, who missed the Champions League tie against Sabah FK on Thursday evening.
Shaw also missed training on Wednesday, with reports claiming it was a "designated rest day" for the only senior left-back at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes limped off after the 4-0 win against Sabah, and with no press conference until after the match on Sunday, fans will simply have to wait and see if the United captain makes the squad at 15:15 BST (when team news is released).
Other absentees include Matthijs de Ligt, Tom Heaton and Manuel Ugarte, who have not featured for Manchester United this season.
Mason Mount returned to action against Sabah on Thursday evening, so could be back amongst the substitutes on Sunday.
