Head-to-head record
Historical overview
Across almost 200 competitive meetings in all competitions, Manchester United hold a slight historical edge over Manchester City, with the remainder split between City wins and draws. In the Premier League era specifically, the two sides have been closely matched, with United holding a slim advantage in the meetings between them.
Recent meetings
The fixture has thrown up dramatic twists in recent seasons. Manchester City enjoyed an emphatic home win in the derby early in the 2025-26 campaign, but the return leg told a very different story: a resurgent Manchester United, revitalised under Michael Carrick, secured a memorable derby win as part of a superb run-in that took them back into the Champions League. Previous seasons have included everything from an FA Cup final between the clubs to tight league encounters decided in the closing minutes, underlining just how unpredictable this fixture can be regardless of current form.
Manchester United under Michael Carrick
Manchester United approach this match transformed under Michael Carrick. Appointed interim manager in January 2026 following Ruben Amorim's departure, Carrick oversaw a dramatic turnaround: winning six of his first seven matches and steering United from mid-table back into Champions League contention, beating Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea along the way. United finished the 2025-26 season third in the Premier League, securing a return to Europe's top competition, and Carrick was rewarded with the job on a permanent basis, signing a contract running until 2028.
Carrick switched back to a back four from his predecessor's three-centre-back system, pushed Bruno Fernandes into a more advanced role - where the Portuguese captain thrived, winning the FWA Footballer of the Year award - and handed young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo a central role. The squad was reshaped in the summer of 2025 with the additions of Matheus Cunha (from Wolves), Bryan Mbeumo (from Brentford) and Benjamin Sesko (from RB Leipzig), giving United fresh attacking options alongside players such as Amad Diallo and Leny Yoro.
Manchester City under Enzo Maresca
Manchester City begin a new chapter under Enzo Maresca, who has succeeded Pep Guardiola after the Spaniard brought his trophy-laden decade in charge to a close at the end of the 2025-26 season. City finished as Premier League runners-up in 2025-26, falling just short of the title, and now turn to Maresca - a former Guardiola assistant at the Etihad and, more recently, Conference League and Club World Cup winner with Chelsea - to maintain their level while overseeing a significant rebuild.
The squad is in transition, with key figures such as Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, John Stones and Ederson having departed. Maresca, known for his possession-based football, inherits a solid core led by Erling Haaland - winner of multiple Premier League Golden Boots - alongside Phil Foden, Jérémy Doku and Rodri, complemented by younger talents such as Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki.
Venue: Old Trafford
The Theatre of Dreams
Old Trafford is one of football's most iconic venues, nicknamed "The Theatre of Dreams" by Sir Bobby Charlton. Manchester United have called it home since 1910, making it one of the longest continuously used stadiums in English football.
With a current capacity of 74,197, Old Trafford is the largest club football stadium in the United Kingdom and the eleventh largest in Europe. The stadium's four stands - the Sir Alex Ferguson, the Sir Bobby Charlton, the Stretford End and the East Stand - create a cauldron of noise on matchdays.
Stadium redevelopment plans
In March 2025, Manchester United announced plans to build a new 100,000-seat stadium designed by Foster + Partners, which would become the largest in the UK. The club hopes to complete the project by 2030, with the new stadium acting as a catalyst for wider regeneration of the Trafford Park area. The project could generate £7.3 billion a year for the UK economy and create 92,000 jobs.
