Manchester Derby- Pogba-less United seek to stop City juggernaut
Manchester United will be looking to stop the Man City juggernaut when the two arch rivals meet in a high stakes derby at Old Trafford this weekend.
City have picked up 43 points from a possible 45 this season and are already eight points ahead of second place United. Victory on Sunday will stretch their lead to 11, and with nearly half the season done, that could be too big a mountain for Mourinho’s men to climb. However a win for United will see the gap cut to five and could breath new life into the title race, with a busy set of festive fixtures also set to test Pep Guardiola’s side.
