Man City won all 3 opening matches of the season and just defeated Porto 2-0 in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Man United had an unstable start with 1 defeat, 1 win and 1 draw in the Premier League, but regained the feeling of victory when they defeated Sabah 4-0 in the Champions League.
After the first 3 rounds, the "Red Devils" launched 68 shots, the most in the league, and also own 7.3 xG, which is also the highest number. They have 19 shots on target, equal to Man City. However, the defense makes Michael Carrick worried when Man United both concede 2 goals in all 3 Premier League matches.
Notably, Erling Haaland is particularly lucky with the "Red Devils" when scoring 8 goals in 7 Premier League encounters, including a hat-trick in their first encounter in 2022. Only Mohamed Salah with 13 goals and Alan Shearer with 10 goals have scored more goals than Haaland against Man United in the league.
However, only 2 of Haaland's 8 goals against Man United were scored at Old Trafford. Notably, Man City has never lost to Man United in a derby where Haaland scored.
Michael Carrick will face the opportunity to become the third coach in Man United history to win both of the first 2 matches in the national championship against Man City.
Carrick's first match in the Premier League after returning to the Man United coaching bench was also a confrontation with Man City. At that time, goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu helped the "Red Devils" win 2-0.
