The confrontation between Man City’s super striker Haaland and MU’s defenders will be one of the hottest points in the Manchester derby this weekend.
The focus of the Premier League this week is none other than the derby between Man City and Man Utd at Etihad’s stadium.
One of the hottest points on the field will be the confrontation between super striker Erling Haaland and MU’s defense.
Haaland is in terrible scoring form since the beginning of the season until now
On the other side of the front line, MU has only kept clean sheets twice in 6 matches played, that was when meeting weaker opponents Southampton and Leicester.
Before the Manchester derby, midfielder Raphael Varane – who along with Lisandro Martinez was responsible for blocking Haaland, also had to admit that this was an extremely difficult match for the Red Devils.
Varane is a reliable stopper for MU, replacing captain Harry Maguire
“MU and Man City fans both cheer wholeheartedly for their favorite team.
However, the French player said that MU’s goal will be to win against any big opponent, whether it is Man City or Liverpool.
“We want to fight and win against teams like Man City and Liverpool.
Varane and Martinez are expected to continue to play in the Manchester Derby
Although MU is rated lower than Man City, they still have a solid fulcrum in the next match in the pair of Varane and Martinez.
In addition, Lisandro Martinez also has experience facing Haaland when the two met in their old jerseys, Ajax and Dortmund, in the 2020/21 Champions League.
