Latest information on the MU vs Man City squad
Kevin De Bruyne is ready for his final derby match, but key teammate Erling Haaland will be sidelined for 5 to 7 weeks due to a serious ankle injury.
Man City's injury list also includes Rodri (anterior cruciate ligament), Nathan Ake (foot), John Stones (thigh), and Manuel Akanji (groin). However, Abdukodir Khusanov is likely to return after missing midweek.
However, Nico O'Reilly is performing consistently well in defense and won't easily relinquish his position. Jack Grealish has also established himself in the number 10 role, which could leave De Bruyne on the bench on this special day.
On the home side, Man United will continue to be without Lisandro Martinez (knee), Amad Diallo (ankle), Ayden Heaven (ankle), Luke Shaw (calf), and Jonny Evans (back). Matthijs de Ligt is also a new doubt following his injury sustained against Forest.
Harry Maguire could be recalled to the three-man defense. Manager Amorim said Kobbie Mainoo could return but is unlikely to play the full 90 minutes. Meanwhile, Mason Mount – who has just returned from the bench – has been confirmed fit to start, and he is determined to prove himself in a red shirt.

Latest football match prediction: MU vs Man City
Kevin De Bruyne, a player whose departure has brought relief to Manchester United fans and most of their rivals, will face the Red Devils one last time in the Manchester derby this weekend, after confirming he will leave Man City when his contract expires this summer.
The Belgian midfielder will conclude his glorious 10-year journey at the Etihad Stadium, but his immediate task remains to help his team secure a Champions League spot – a goal that has been further boosted by the victory against Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester City.
Jack Grealish's first Premier League goal of the season, along with Omar Marmoush's fifth, helped Man City easily overcome Leicester City, ending their two-match losing streak in the league and temporarily returning to the top four.
Although Chelsea later beat Tottenham to push Man City down to fifth place, this ranking is still likely to qualify them for the Champions League thanks to England's high UEFA coefficient. Furthermore, Pep Guardiola's team still has hopes of winning the FA Cup with their semi-final against Nottingham Forest awaiting them at Wembley.
However, Man City have been quite inconsistent when playing away from the Etihad, winning only 3 of their last 11 away matches in the Premier League and losing 6 – the same number of defeats as in their previous 37 away games combined.
As for Man United, they continued their disappointing away run with a midweek defeat to Nottingham Forest, and the man responsible for this loss was none other than former player Anthony Elanga – who highlighted the Red Devils' transfer mistakes this season.
While players like Antony, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Hojlund, and Joshua Zirkzee failed to live up to expectations, Elanga shone brightly with a spectacular dribble and finish after just 5 minutes of play, securing the victory for Forest.
Manchester United's attack lacked creativity and were unable to salvage anything in the remaining 85 minutes, ending their four-match unbeaten run across all competitions – and their four-match unbeaten run in the Premier League – and pushing them further away from the top of the table.
Nevertheless, the Red Devils still have a chance to win a title and qualify for the Champions League through the Europa League – where they will face Lyon in the first leg of the quarter-finals next Thursday. But failing to keep a clean sheet in 12 consecutive home games is a major concern.
Since their 4-0 win against Everton in December, Man United haven't kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford. However, they did beat Man City 2-1 at the Etihad just weeks later and have been unbeaten in their last three derby matches in regular time.
