⚽️ Manchester derby updates from 4.30pm BST ⚽️ Preview link here xxxx ⚽️ Today’s scores | Send your thoughts to Rob via email Can you have a must-win game in September?

It’s not all doom and gloom for United.

They’ve scored nine goals in two home games, and their form at Old Trafford since Carrick took over has been terrific. They’ve won 10 out of 11, including a rousing 2-0 demolition of City in his first match back in January. United counter-attacked to devastating effect in that game; a degree in rocket science is not required to work out Carrick’s tactics today.
