Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed four changes to his side for today’s derby against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Benjamin Sesko spearheads the attack, making his first Premier League start since joining from RB Leipzig. Altay Bayindir retains his place in goal, while Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu come into the wing-back roles. Manuel Ugarte replaces Casemiro in midfield after both returned late from international duty. Injuries to Diogo Dalot, Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha forced three of the changes.
