Manchester United vs. Manchester City is one of the fiercest rivalries in the Premier League.
On one side, one of the most historic clubs in the entire world. A side that has struggled to find consistent success ever since the departure of the iconic Sir Alex Ferguson. On the other, a club that’s dominated English football since Pep Guardiola took over.
Dating back to the late 1800s, the Manchester derby almost always delivers must-see goals, fierce clashes and thrilling moments across all competitions. Man Utd and Man City have taken turns dominating the fixture, but the Red Devils have the all-time edge thanks to the club’s excellence under the aforementioned Ferguson.
The Cityzens have since closed the gap in their head-to-head with Man Utd and enjoyed further success against their historically grander neighbours in the first derby of the 2025–26 campaign.
