Man City vs Man United Preseason Form and Stats
Manchester City
Recent Form
Manchester City have endured a pretty poor preseason by their standards, having lost 3/4 games, only winning against Chelsea 4-2. City lost 4-3 to Celtic, 3-2 to Milan, and losing 4-1 on penalties to Barcelona, having drawn 2-2 in the match.
Key Players
- Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Rodri, Kyle Walker
Strengths
Strong positional setup, quick passing, possession-based football. Manchester City had an average possession of 65.7% in the Premier League last season, and you can expect them to have the main share of the ball this Saturday.
Weaknesses
Vulnerable on the counterattack when playing such a high line in possession. Could cause problems with the likes of Rashford, Garnacho, and Zirkzee leading the line. Kyle Walker could be covering a lot of ground.
Manchester United
Recent Form
Manchester United saw a mixed preseason, trying to capitalise on their FA Cup triumph against City last season. United played 5 games on their tour, losing 1-0 to Rosenborg, beating Rangers 2-0, losing 2-1 to Arsenal, winning 3-2 against Real Betis, and a tough defeat to Liverpool 3-0.
Key Players
- Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez
Strengths
Quick counter attacking football. Much like their win over City in the FA Cup Final, this is likely to be their best chance of winning on Saturday. We all know City will have the ball for most of the game so United will need to be patient and take their chance to get in behind at the right moment.
Weaknesses
Keeping possession. Manchester United had an average possession of 50.4% in the league last season, however, they are very prone to giving a sloppy pass away or rushing play. Against a side like Man City, they cannot afford to let Haaland in with many opportunities.
