Manchester City have already scored six goals against United this season, recording a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford before following this up with a 3-1 triumph at the Etihad Stadium. Phil Foden and Erling Haaland have scored three apiece for their team in their games, with the former being crowned PFA Player of the Year recently.
The England man was on fire as City claimed a telling 3-1 win over West Ham on Sunday, with his City team trading as huge favourites to land a normal time victory at Wembley. We’re likely to see Pep Guardiola field a familiar team, including Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva in attacking midfield positions.
For United, it’s been a tricky season and there are doubts concerning the future of manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman saw his team only narrowly come through an FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City when the Championship side inexplicably came back from three goals down to force extra-time and penalties.
At least the Red Devils finished the regular campaign with back-to-back wins over Newcastle and Brighton, beating the Magpies 3-2 before a 2-0 victory at the AMEX Stadium. Rasmus Hojlund found the net in both of these games and the Dane could be on the prowl for more goals despite City having an enviable defensive record.
