What Manchester United players did during their days off ahead of Man City fixture

A selection of Manchester United's players have enjoyed some downtime ahead of preparing for this weekend's derby against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

United, who currently occupy the final Champions League berth, will be hoping to get back to winning ways after being held to a goalless draw by relegation-threatened Watford at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon. The Reds created a plethora of opportunities but were unable to find a way past a stubborn Hornets defence and an inspired Ben Foster in between the posts.

Considering United struggled to find a way past the Hornets, confidence ahead of the trip to City, certainly amongst the fans, is unlikely to be very high. Their cross-city rivals currently sit at the top of the table and are looking to fend off competition from Liverpool in a bid to retain their Premier League crown.
