Latest MU vs Man City squad information
Kevin De Bruyne is ready for his final derby, but key teammate Erling Haaland will be sidelined for five to seven weeks with a serious ankle injury.
City's injury list also includes Rodri (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 has been a steady presence in defence and will not be easily let go. Jack Grealish has also established himself as a number 10, which could see De Bruyne drop to the bench on this particular day.
For 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 after the injury he suffered against Forest.
Harry Maguire could be recalled to a back three. Amorim said Kobbie Mainoo could return but would be unlikely to last 90 minutes. Meanwhile, Mason Mount – who has returned from the bench – has been confirmed fit to start and is determined to prove himself in a red shirt.

Latest football commentary MU vs Man City
A player who has left United fans and most of his rivals breathless with relief as he prepares to leave, Kevin De Bruyne will face the Red Devils for the final time in this weekend's Manchester derby, after confirming he will leave Man City when his contract expires in the summer.
The Belgian midfielder will end a brilliant 10-year journey at the Etihad Stadium, but the immediate task is still to help the home team qualify for the Champions League - a goal that has just been given more motivation after the victory over Leicester City coach Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Jack Grealish's first Premier League goal of the season and Omar Marmoush's fifth helped Man City easily overcome the "Foxes", thereby ending a streak of two consecutive defeats in the tournament and temporarily returning to the top 4.
Although Chelsea then beat Tottenham to push Man City down to fifth place, this position is still likely to qualify for the Champions League thanks to England's high UEFA coefficient. In addition, Pep Guardiola's team still has hope of winning the FA Cup with a semi-final against Nottingham Forest waiting at Wembley.
However, Man City have been inconsistent away from the Etihad, winning just three of their last 11 away games in the Premier League and losing six times – the same number of losses as in their previous 37 away games combined.
As for Man United, they continued their disappointing away streak when they lost to Nottingham Forest in the middle of the week, and the one who caused the sadness was none other than former player Anthony Elanga - who showed the Red Devils' transfer mistakes this season.
When names like Antony, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee failed to meet expectations, Elanga shone brightly with a spectacular dribble and finish after only 5 minutes of play, bringing victory to Forest.
Man United's lacklustre forwards failed to make up for the remaining 85 minutes, ending a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions – and a four-match unbeaten run in the Premier League – and pushing them further off the top of the table.
However, the Red Devils still have a chance to win the title and qualify for the Champions League via the Europa League – where they face Lyon in the quarter-final first leg on Thursday – but a run of 12 consecutive home games without a clean sheet is a major concern.
United have not kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford since a 4-0 win over Everton in December. However, they beat City 2-1 at the Etihad just weeks later and are unbeaten in their last three derby games over 90 minutes.
