Title, top four and pride at stake in huge Manchester derby

Those days of dominance are long gone for the Red Devils with just a place in the top four and Champions League qualification their target. However, United also have to restore some sense of pride after a 4-0 thrashing at Everton on Sunday. Now the Norwegian, only hired on a permanent basis in March, has to show he has the ability to arrest the slump even before a major restructure of his squad takes place in the off-season. Solskjaer questioned the work rate and desire of some of his players on Sunday, making it clear that big changes are needed.

Yet, there is a dilemma even for United fans keen to halt City’s rise. Should City fail to win at Old Trafford, Liverpool — historically United’s fiercest rivals — will be just three games away from a first league title in 29 years.
