The confrontation between Manchester City and Manchester United has historically been intense. In their last match, back in October, Manchester City won with a resounding 3-0, with goals from Haaland twice and Foden. It stood out in that match that Manchester City, as we are accustomed to, shot three times as many times as their rival and more than three times as many times on goal.
This duel is not new in terms of tension. Last year, they had to play in the FA Cup final in which the Cityzens also won, although the first match they played in 2023 was for the Red Devils with a 2-1 result on the field of the United.
This clash promises to be another chapter in the long history of rivalry between Manchester City and Manchester United. Fans are looking forward to an interesting match that will add to the long list of great matches between the two.
