'Trust the manager' - Manchester United fans react to starting line-up as Fred starts vs Man City

Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League showdown with cross-city rivals Manchester City this lunchtime, making some very bold selection calls.

United, who were thrashed 6-3 by City in the reverse fixture back in October, will be looking to register a ninth successive victory following Tuesday night's 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. Two late goals from Marcus Rashford and a first half stunner from Antony sealed the Reds' place in the last-four of the competition.

It means that Ten Hag will be determined to see another solid performance and victory from his team, as they look to claim the derby day bragging rights and move up to third in the Premier League table. The Dutchman, as expected, has opted to revert back to a more familiar looking team after ringing the changes in midweek, making nine alterations in total.
