This is the Red Devils' new focus for the Manchester Derby

Manchester United started a season full of doubts in the squad. They lost two Premier League games, from there there was an adjustment in the team, especially in giving confidence to players who were not regulars in the team, that confidence raised the level, and together with the recently signed players a good level has been achieved.

Manchester United's squad is on an upward trend, with four Premier League wins in a row, one of them against Liverpool, and another against league leaders Arsenal. Next up is a visit to Manchester City, who have shown a very high standard of play, having won four of the last five Premier Leagues under Pep Guardiola.
