Manchester United will enter Sunday’s derby against Manchester City with a sense of optimism given their recent form.
The visitors have claimed maximum points in their last four league games and have kept three clean sheets away from home across all competitions. It has marked an incredible turnaround following the humiliations at home to Brighton and away at Brentford.
The United squad have clearly heeded the advice given by Erik ten Hag in the weeks since, earning wins over Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and table-toppers Arsenal. The 3-1 win over the Gunners was particularly pleasing in many senses.
