Michael Carrick, coach of Manchester United, is approaching the first Manchester derby of the âpost-Guardiola eraâ with a specific call on his main forward. After giving Marcus Rashford a rest on Thursday, he brings him back into the starting XI for this Sundayâs clash.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Rashford was rested during Unitedâs 4-0 win over Shabah in the Champions League league phase opener. Now, he returns to face their city rivals.
Unitedâs XI with changes
Thereâs also bad news for the Red Devils: Luke Shaw is out and couldnât play against Shabah. And compared with the Champions match lineup, Carrick makes further adjustments, with Diogo Dalot and Harry Maguire coming in for Noussair Mazraoui and Leny Yoro.
The United lineup listed in the report is:
- Lammens;
- Dalot, Maguire, Lisandro MartĂnez, Dorgu;
- Tielemans, Mainoo;
- Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford;
- Cunha.

For Manchester City, the headline is continuity. Enzo Maresca has made only one change: Elliot Anderson replaces Ayyoub Bouaddi.
The City starting XI for the derby is Donnarumma; M. Nunes, R. Dias, GuĂ©hi, Gvardiol; E. Anderson, Enzo FernĂĄndez; Foden, Cherki, Semenyo; and Haalandâwith Mundo Deportivo noting City had two extra days of rest compared with United.
