Manchester United vs Manchester City - 5 players to watch out for | Premier League 2020-21

#3 Mason Greenwood (Manchester United)

Mason Greenwood needs to kickstart his season

Mason Greenwood has had a rough start to the season. The Manchester United youngster has only scored twice in all competitions and has been in poor form for the majority of the season after his off-field troubles. The young Englishman has a point to prove against Manchester City, after having a breakout season last year.

Greenwood is highly likely to get the nod against City and will want to prove his doubters wrong. The forward will either start on the right of the front three or could partner Rashford up-front. Greenwood scored against West Ham in United's 3-1 win last week and will hope to get on the scoresheet again in the Manchester derby.

#2 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

De Bruyne can make the difference for City

After a slow start to the season, De Bruyne is now playing at the level that is expected of him. The Belgian midfielder seems to be at the center of everything good for Manchester City and has notched up two goals and ten assists in eleven games in all competitions.

The midfield maestro will be pulling strings for City, as they try to break down Manchester United. Also, expect De Bruyne to pull the trigger if he get an opportunity to at the edge of the box, as the Belgian has a penchant of scoring long-range stunners.

#1 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

Fernandes is United's danger man

Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester United's best player by a country mile since joining the club in January. The Portuguese midfielder received his third Premier League Player of the Month award after being the standout performer for United in November. The 26-year-old has 11 goals and five assists in fifteen games in all competitions this season and will want to continue that form against Manchester City in the derby.

He has been a match-winner for United all season. Fernandes has scored or assisted in each of United's four previous Premier League wins and will be the main threat that Manchester City will have to deal with in order to win the derby.
