Our players were hard at work at the City Football Academy this afternoon with the Manchester derby firmly on the horizon.

Sunday sees the 195th clash between City and United with Pep Guardiola locking horns with Ruben Amorim at the Etihad.

It’s the first Premier League encounter between the sides this season but there has been the Community Shield meeting, which was won on penalties by the Blues.

The last clash between the two teams on our patch also saw a triumph for Guardiola’s men as we came from behind to win 3-1, Phil Foden bagging a brilliant brace and Erling Haaland also on the scoresheet.

Our players will be hoping for a similar result this time around to earn bragging rights and also to kickstart our 2024/25 campaign after a tough run of results.

They were in industrious mood today under the watchful eye of boss Guardiola and his coaching staff.
