MU 0-0 Man City: Bruno and De Bruyne's last match

Bruno and his teammates are determined to win 3 points at home.

All eyes are on Kevin De Bruyne, who will play his final Manchester derby of his career. De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandes have been at the centre of a debate in recent seasons over who is the Premier League's best attacking midfielder.

Although no longer at his peak, De Bruyne is still a name that MU's defense must pay special attention to. On the other hand, Bruno is in good form, contributing to 10 goals in just 8 recent appearances for the Old Trafford team.

Manchester United are trying to improve their position in the rankings, while defending champions Manchester City are struggling to get into the top 4. With these factors, both teams have reasons to take this confrontation seriously, even though the context is not too favorable.

As for Manchester United, coach Ruben Amorim and his team will want to rebuild their confidence ahead of the important UEFA Europa League quarter-final match against Lyon. In particular, the "Red Devils" will want to win the double for the first time against their city rivals since the 2019/20 season.

In addition, Amorim also has the opportunity to create a rare achievement that only Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel have achieved, which is to defeat Pep's Man City 3 times in a row. Previously, the Portuguese coach and Sporting defeated Man City in the Champions League, then won the first leg of the Premier League with MU.

As for Manchester City, despite impressive wins over Bournemouth in the FA Cup and Leicester in the Premier League, the absence of Erling Haaland due to injury has significantly affected City's strength. Haaland has had 9 direct assists in the last 5 Manchester derbies, and his absence could be an important factor affecting the outcome of this match.
