Sir Alex Ferguson has provided his thoughts ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash between Manchester United and Manchester City.
Having won the reverse fixture at Etihad Stadium earlier in the season, Ruben Amorim’s have the chance to do the double over their bitter rivals. Late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad sealed a superb turnaround but the latter is one of many United players set to miss the game through injury.
“I think Kobbie is returning to training, so we’ll see and assess for this game,” the United boss said. “Of course, he cannot play a full game. He’s a long time without training. Matta [Matthijs de Ligt] has an issue. He has something during the game [at Forest] and we have to assess.”
As for City, Erling Haaland has been ruled out of the Manchester Derby and at least six games beyond that after suffering damage to his ankle during the win against Bournemouth. Despite enduring a mostly disastrous season, City are in the FA Cup semi-finals again and can still qualify for next season’s Champions League.
