So it turns out that the line-up is different but the end result is exactly the same: annihilation.
Mercifully for United fans dreading another shlep across Manchester to the Etihad, only four of that XI – De Gea, McTominay, Fernandes and Sancho – are expected to line up against the champions on Sunday.
Three of that back four remain at Old Trafford but a safe distance away from Ten Hag’s team. Alex Telles has been loaned to Sevilla, while no one wanted to even borrow Aaron Wan-Bissaka. At the heart of defence, though, is where the biggest change has occurred.and last season’s derby was up there with the most miserable. City played without a striker and shredded United’s defence, which featured Maguire and Victor Lindelof at its heart.
Ahead of Martinez and Varane, United could pick Casemiro, the Brazil veteran with even more Champions League medals than Varane. Instead, though, it’ll likely be Scott McTominay picking fights and Christian Eriksen picking locks.Harry Maguire and the invisible line between loyalty and bloody-mindednessAnd what about his attack? Last time at the Etihad, United fans were reeling from Cristiano Ronaldo’s late withdrawal through injury. Half a year on, many would prefer that he was absent again.
