For Erik Ten Hag, the Manchester derby against local rival Manchester City comes at the perfect time for his time following their red-hot form but his opposite manager reacts differently for the first time ever as the countdown continues.
Erik Ten Hag's team has picked up a monstrous form since their first meeting with Manchester City in the league which ended in a 6-3 defeat at the Etihad Stadium. A game in which former Manchester United target Erling Haaland scored a hattrick against them.

Erik Ten Hag recently acknowledged that Old Trafford is now a fortress following their latest win against Charlton Athletic at the Theatre of Dreams. The Red Devils manager has now won their last nine games at Old Trafford since beating Tottenham 2-0 in October last year.
With just a day to, the anticipation for the game is building up more across Manchester. City's manager Pep Guardiola when recently asked about the upcoming derby said "I have a few ideas, thoughts, ridiculous ones against United. While Manchester United have won their last five matches, Manchester City has won just three from five, with a loss against Southampton.
