Do the Red Devils need to worry about the Cityzens?

Pep Guardiola’s side are four places ahead of United in 2nd place, just two points behind league leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.

City possess more than enough quality to embarrass United at their own ground – as they have done many times before.

Sergio Aguero loves a good goal at Old Trafford, and Guardiola has an abundance of wingers he could play alongside the striker, including Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez.

However, City will be without Kevin de Bruyne after the midfielder sustained a muscle injury in their 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend – a huge blow for them.
