This weekend sees Manchester City make the trip across the city to face United in the penultimate Women's Super League game of the season. Their mission? To clinch the final Champions League spot and disrupt the Reds' title charge.
While she is close friends with some of the United players off the field, City and England star Esme Morgan told MEN Sport how the blue blood runs deep when it comes to derby day, putting friendships on the back burner.
“We all get along really well," Morgan said. "Some of the people I'm closest to are from rival teams, I suppose. Me, Lauren [Hemp] and Coombsy [Laura Coombs], Sandy [McIver], Chloe [Kelly], we'll hang around a lot with Niamh Charles, Alessia [Russo] Tooney [Ella Toone] and Le Tissier [Maya].
