Manchester derby features fan protests against Glazer family

Manchester United hosts Manchester City for the 199th edition of the Manchester derby during the fourth round of the Premier League. The match features Manchester United, managed by Michael Carrick, who holds a record of one win, one draw, and one loss this season. Manchester City, led by Enzo Maresca, enters the fixture with three consecutive wins, including a recent Champions League victory against Porto.

Ahead of the match, Manchester United supporters are organizing protests against the club's owners, the Glazer family. The demonstrations follow controversial measures taken by the club to combat illegal ticket reselling, which resulted in the banning of 685 season ticket holders and various penalties for 464 others. Fans have expressed their anger through banners, including one reading, “THE WAY YOU TREAT US IS A DISGRACE.”

Regarding team availability, Manchester United will be without De Ligt, Baleba, Ugarte, and Diallo. Manchester City will be missing Jeremy Doku due to injury.
