Manchester United faces Manchester City today at Old Trafford, looking to end a long streak of derby defeats and strengthen their position in the top three.
The team, led by manager Marc Skinner, is at a crucial point in the season. United returns from a challenging European match, but they have a strong home record, winning their last six matches. A win today would bring them closer to qualifying for the UWCL.
Manchester United team news
Manager Marc Skinner has good news about several key players. Top scorer Elisabeth Terland and defender Jayde Riviere are likely fit to play, allowing Riviere to return to the starting lineup.
Riviere adds strength to a defense that is currently without Dominique Janssen. Meanwhile, Hinata Miyazawa comes back after her success in the Asian Cup, providing crucial support in midfield. However, Ella Toone is out with a hip injury and will not be back until late April.
Phallon Tullis-Joyce is expected to start in goal. In defense, Maya Le Tissier will hold the line, with Julia Zigiotti Olme managing the midfield alongside Lisa Naalsund.
Additionally, Melvine Malard enters the game with confidence after scoring a last-minute winner against Everton last week. Lea Schüller is set to lead the attack as United seeks their first home derby win since 2023.
