Man Utd's last derby win at Man City 1,379 days ago: Where are the 14 ex-players now?
Manchester United visit the Etihad Stadium this evening for the most unpredictable derby day in recent memory. Manchester City are stuck in the worst slump of Pep Guardiola's managerial career, winning just one and losing seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, United are still finding their feet under Ruben Amorim, and while there are clear signs of a new identity and vision, results remain inconsistent.
A defeat would condemn the Red Devils to a third on the bounce in the Premier League for the first time since December 2015.

Ultimately couldn’t cement his spot and joined Crystal Palace in a £20million deal last summer.
Aaron Wan-BissakaDidn’t give Raheem Sterling a sniff in one of many impressive defensive displays against City as a United player, including his last appearance in May’s FA Cup final.
Joined West Ham United for £15m earlier this year, paving the way for Noussair Mazraoui’s arrival.
Dean Henderson started the 2-0 win. (Image: Getty)Victor LindelofContributed to a rare clean sheet against City at a time when he regularly started football matches.
He’s still at United but is way down the pecking order and is set to leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season.
Harry MaguirePerformances to justify his £80m price tag have been far and few, but he produced one of them in this victory.
Like Victor Lindelof, he is out of contract next summer and no longer regularly starts. United have the option to extend by a year.
Luke ShawNotched a fine finish to double United’s advantage and seal the three points as part of a complete display at left-back.
He hasn’t started a game for the club since February and is currently absent via his latest injury setback.

Scott McTominayOne half of Solskjaer’s popular ‘McFred’ midfield combination that served United well in many a big game under the Norwegian’s reign.
Ended his 22-year association with the club in the summer, joining Napoli in a £25m transfer as part of budget-boosting sales.
FredHis energy and defensive tenacity proved so useful in these sorts of games where United relied on counter-attacking so much.
Left for Fenerbahce in a £13m deal last summer, reuniting with the coach who brought him to Old Trafford, Jose Mourinho.
Daniel JamesWhether he was good enough to represent United was often a topic of debate, but his pace was incredibly valuable on the break.
The club recouped £25m from Leeds United just months later, a positive outcome for all parties.
