Manchester United and Manchester City Face Off in First Derby Since Guardiola's Departure
Manchester United prepares to face Manchester City in the upcoming derby at Old Trafford, marking the first such match since Pep Guardiola's departure. City, under new manager Enzo Maresca, holds a perfect record early in the Premier League season, while United has shown inconsistency and defensive challenges. Maresca's team is adjusting after Guardiola's decade-long tenure, and United seeks to demonstrate progress under Michael Carrick amid a quiet transfer window. The derby is seen as a key test for both sides' current form and ambitions.
