Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has dismissed Elliot Anderson's claim that Manchester City are the "kings of Manchester," as his team prepares for Sunday's Premier League derby. Carrick acknowledged the broader context of City's dominance but refused to engage with the remark, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the match. The derby, set to take place at Old Trafford, is a key fixture in the season, with both teams vying for top positions in the league.
Injury updates have revealed that seven players may miss the clash, including Marcus Rashford, who is expected to sit out after recent appearances. Despite this, Rashford has been a focal point for fans, with supporters chanting his name during training. Meanwhile, Carrick has suggested that a win against City could mark the beginning of a stronger title challenge for United. The match is anticipated to be a fiercely contested encounter, with both teams eager to secure a crucial victory.
The derby carries added significance as United look to build on their recent Champions League performance, though some fans have raised concerns about the implications of their recent win. Carrick remains focused on the task at hand, aiming to lead his team to a strong result in a high-stakes match.
