Kevin de Bruyne is not to be outdone. The Belgian star scored 4 goals in the last 3 Manchester derbies.
The task of stopping the Haaland – De Bruyne pair at this time seems too much for Casemiro, Varane or Lindelof.
In terms of confrontation, MU also lost 4/5 recent encounters with Man City. Today’s trip to Etihad was a little good, a lot of bad for Ten Hag and his students.
