The rivalry between Manchester City and Manchester United is one of the most historic feuds in English football, with City having faced off against United 54 times in the Premier League era. Last season, City beat United twice in the league and lifted their fourth consecutive league trophy, while also losing in the FA Cup final to Erik ten Hag’s side.
