How to watch Man Utd vs Man City in US and UK - TV channel, live stream, team news

Manchester United hosts Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday, with the Red Devils hoping for a 'new manager bounce'

One of the most anticipated matches in the football calendar kicks off this weekend's Premier League fixtures as Manchester United squares off against local rivals Manchester City. The Red Devils are set to host their blue counterparts in the season's second Manchester derby, a crucial match in their quest for European football.

Michael Carrick finds himself in the hot seat as he faces Pep Guardiola in his first outing since being named United's head coach on Tuesday. The interim manager has stepped up following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim earlier this month.

The club has confirmed that Carrick will be at United for the rest of the season until a permanent manager is appointed. This announcement follows the Red Devils' recent FA Cup third-round exit after a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, with the club currently sitting seventh in the Premier League.

City has had a mixed start to the year, dropping points in their last three league games, leaving them six points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal and on par with Aston Villa. City triumphed over United 3-0 in its previous encounter in September, so United supporters will be banking on a 'new manager bounce' this time around.

Discussing his new role, Carrick said: "Having the responsibility to lead Manchester United is an honour. I know what it takes to succeed here; my focus is now on helping the players to reach the standards that we expect at this incredible club, which we know that this group is more than capable of producing," as per the Mirror.

"I have worked with a number of the players already and have obviously continued to watch the team closely in recent years, I have total belief in their talents, dedication and ability to be successful here. There is still a lot to fight for this season, we are ready to pull everyone together and give the fans the performances that their loyal support deserves."
