The English Premier League match between Manchester United and Manchester City will be played at Old Trafford, London, England, on Sunday, April 6.
Old Trafford is set to witness another electrifying installment of the Manchester derby on Sunday, as Manchester United take on arch-rivals Manchester City in what will be Kevin De Bruyne’s final derby appearance before he bids farewell to English football. With bragging rights, crucial points, and Champions League hopes on the line, the two teams come into the clash with contrasting form and storylines.
Manchester United will return home after a humiliating and disappointing 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in midweek — marking their 13th league defeat of the season. Ironically, the match-winner was Anthony Elanga, a former United prospect, who exposed his old club’s defensive weaknesses and poor transfer strategy.

The loss ended a four-match unbeaten streak under Ruben Amorim and highlighted ongoing problems, particularly in attack. United’s frontline has been ineffective, with key names like Antony, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Hojlund, and Joshua Zirkzee struggling to make an impact following Forest’s early goal.
