Head-to-head record
Historical overview
Across nearly 200 competitive meetings in all competitions, Manchester United hold a narrow historical edge over Manchester City, with the remainder shared between City wins and draws. In the Premier League era specifically, the two sides have been closely matched, with United holding a slight advantage in meetings between them.
Recent meetings
The fixture has produced dramatic swings in recent seasons. Manchester City enjoyed a comprehensive home derby win earlier in the 2025-26 campaign, but the return meeting told a very different story: a resurgent Manchester United, revitalised under Michael Carrick, claimed a memorable derby victory as part of a superb run-in that carried them back into the Champions League. Earlier seasons have featured everything from an FA Cup final between the clubs to narrow, late-decided league encounters, underlining how unpredictable this fixture can be regardless of form.
Manchester United under Michael Carrick
Manchester United enter this fixture transformed under Michael Carrick. Appointed interim head coach 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 the Champions League places, 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 elite competition, and Carrick was rewarded with the permanent job on a contract running to 2028.
Carrick reverted to a traditional back four after his predecessor's three-at-the-back system, restored Bruno Fernandes to a more advanced role - where the Portuguese captain flourished, earning the FWA Footballer of the Year award - and gave young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo a central role. The squad was reshaped in summer 2025 with the additions of Matheus Cunha (from Wolves), Bryan Mbeumo (from Brentford) and Benjamin Sesko (from RB Leipzig), who give United fresh attacking options alongside the likes of 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 ended his decade-long, trophy-laden reign at the end of the 2025-26 season. City finished as Premier League runners-up in 2025-26, narrowly missing out on the title, and now look to Maresca - a former Guardiola assistant at the Etihad, and more recently a Conference League and Club World Cup winner with Chelsea - to maintain their standards while overseeing a significant rebuild.
The squad is in transition, with senior figures including Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, John Stones and Ederson having moved on. Maresca, known for his possession-based football, inherits a strong core featuring Erling Haaland - winner of multiple Premier League Golden Boots - alongside Phil Foden, Jérémy Doku and Rodri, supplemented by younger talents such as Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki.
Venue: Old Trafford
The Theatre of Dreams

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 annually for the UK economy and create 92,000 jobs.
