Man City vs Man Utd: Erik ten Hag urges his side not to focus only on Erling Haaland in Manchester derby
Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag believes his side can win the first Manchester derby of the season as they travel to the Etihad to face champions Man City; Man City vs Man Utd is live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event from 1 pm on Super Sunday; kick-off 2 pm
Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United can beat Manchester City in Sunday’s derby but insists they will not focus their entire attention on trying to stop Erling Haaland.
Haaland, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has scored 11 of his side’s 23 goals in the Premier League this season.
The 22-year-old has easily adjusted to life in English football and will face United for the first time at the Eithad on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
He is likely to come up against Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, who have been key to United’s recent mini-revival under Ten Hag, but the Dutchman would not be drawn on how to stop the imposing center-forward.
