As tactically astute as Rangnick is as a coach, I don't think United has enough fire power to go toe to toe against City.  Ronaldo isn't really doing well.  At least not as well as how much the club his paying him a week.  They should drop him imho.  And been hearing that Maguire hasn't been what he was expected to be.  Dunno, seems like there's still some issues that needs some fixing.

From my point of view, City is gonna win, they're going to win without conceding and they'll do it by scoring a goal or two in the second half.  IMHO.
I won't rule out the possibility of Manchester United to defeat City. Let's not forget this is a derby game and derby games are unpredictable. The players know what is at stake here; the bragging right in the city of Manchester is the predominant of them all. So, emotions will be high and expect players to give extra in the game. For sure, Manchester City are the favorite but United can be the spoiler to their title race.
However, we also don't rule out what is happening in Manchester United's line at the moment, although it is true that the tension in the game will increase and the emotion will be more pronounced when 2 Derby shows its quality. Is that alone enough to be in an advantageous state? both have a long process to be able to compete, but the process experienced is not the same, with the meaning that these 2 clubs produce very far achievements. We'll see if this can change the tension of the game with Manchester United's performance under coach Rangnick.

What if Man Utd wins the match against Man City on 6th March. Man City is the leading team and yes Man Utd is not a poor team to have a easy win for Man City. Man City will have a tough time to win but however, if Man Utd is going to missing all the chances like in the last match, then yes, Man City is going to nail them but yes, I am sure, by now Man Utd team should have learnt where was the problem. Hope they come back on their usual performance on 6th March and prove themselves as one of the best team. There are lot chances for a draw.

I have tried to understand how Aubameyang was under estimated in Arsenal. Is it the arsenal and Aubameyang that we know? Aubameyang is a good player we all know but he does not have the leadership sense to influence his fellow players. Apart from that he was very much inconsistent in many games. Any game you expect Aubameyang to make a difference he will disappointe you but when you look least expected him to perform, you will see him do wonders. Who knows of he has seen camp nou as home. One thing is to be a good player and another thing is acceptability in the side of the player, the coach and the team.

I'm not surprised that he's doing well at Barcelona, and the fact that he adapted so quickly is something he does easily when he gets to a new club, he adapted well from his first game at Arsenal and started scoring goals, he never had a difficult time, he's overall performance at the club was something the fans will not forget in a hurry, won two FA cups with the team, score many goals, he was ready to stay for a long time but his relationship with Arteta was not good.

Overall, he was not inconsistent, with the exception of a slight decline owing to his knee ailment.

The weekend between Manchester United and Man City will go a long way to determine who played the final in the premier league facing Liverpool in the final, both Manchester United and man city have a strong point game to play over the weekend and man United will have to double their efforts in scoring more goal as they are down on the premier league table and man city already topping the table with more goals. 

Manchester United may not get the cup this season as they perform this season is far below average compared to the previous league performance.
Manchester United will have a difficult weekend because Manchester City is trying to close the gap on Liverpool in order to secure the Premier League title, so they will not take the Red Devils lightly. Manchester United is also fighting for a Champions League spot next season, so they will try their luck to at least get a point against Manchester City. So, let's see how the game plays out; I predict that Manchester United will lose or draw.

Yeah certainly there is room for United to win but its gonna be hell of a work for them if they want to win in the derby. You also gotta see with the difference being so tight between City and Liverpool, it seems hard that City will be slacking up in the game. Unless there is a major change in tactics or morale, I don't see any change in their performance and honestly they need to bring some change. The fixtures they have now for 4-5 games are against difficult opponents and they need to sort their problems out immediately.

Regardless of the Derby Rangnick can't withstand Pep Guardiola. I think Ronaldo is actually doing his best to see the team atleast maintain a standard but his effort is looking fruitless due to poor management. I am not in any way ruling out united possibility of defeating city but from the statistics and management on ground it's a 20% chance

 Bruno fernandes certainly had a horrible game, and the thing with him and Ronaldo was a bad situation to look at I am sure, and the pass he didn't send was a problem too. These were all terrible things for Bruno and also for Bruno/Ronaldo relationship as well. However, just because of one game, we should not assume that suddenly they are going to be enemies and try to send each other away. I doubt that would happen and I believe that we are going to see them work together for a while longer. Eventually they will click better, find out about each others best suited situations and act accordingly and the chemistry will go up. eeeeeveryone talked about them after the game, and I think that was just overreaction.

Ronaldo plays worse than before because of his age - that's a fact. But his salary is determined not only by the game, but also by his name. At the moment he is one of the greatest and most recognizable athletes in the world and brings United more money than he spends on him. Another question is how much playing time should be given to him without compromising the club - this is a difficult question because even an older Ronaldo, when in good shape, plays better than other young strikers.
True, when looking at salaries, of course, apart from looking at their current performance, they also definitely take into account the big names there.
Ronaldo is one very big player and the era he is still around is starting to dim at this point.
Talking about performance, even when compared to other young strikers, I prefer him even though this is not a good thing to compare, for example comparing Ronaldo's performance to Hazard at Madrid or Grealish at City, I personally still highlight Ronaldo here

If Arsenal considered and assessed that Aubameyang did not have an attitude and behavior that was in accordance with the provisions of the management, it was indeed a natural thing if he was not continued in their team, but since then Aubameyang's psychological condition has seemed to want to repay his ex-team's treatment through his achievements in Barcelona, ​​and it has proven to be enough.  effective until now, hopefully it will continue to improve and take lessons so that Aubameyang does not repeat his behavior in a new place.

Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹

Arsenal's management has underestimated many good players in the past. Aubameyang is an extraordinary player. He could have become a star player in the Premier League. But he has been neglected by Arsenal's management. Now he is ruling in La Liga. And his contribution to the transformation of the Barcelona team must be acknowledged.

Aubameyang is indeed a player who has contributed significantly to arsenal so far, but his often undisciplined attitude forced arsenal to release Aubameyang for barcelona, ​​yes indeed now Aubameyang has shown a good performance with barcelona but as arsenal fans we are not too sad to see that, because all this time, a player, especially a club captain, should set a good example for other team members and not just like Aubameyang did so far at Arsenal, who set a bad example by continuing to be indisciplined.
I have tried to understand how Aubameyang was under estimated in Arsenal. Is it the arsenal and Aubameyang that we know? Aubameyang is a good player we all know but he does not have the leadership sense to influence his fellow players. Apart from that he was very much inconsistent in many games.

We know that Manchester United condition is not as good as it used to be, while Man City is one step ahead in terms of performance.
Manchester City have gone further than Manchester United, it's not just one step. Manchester City's form since Pep Guardiola's arrival has improved and they have dominated the Premier League title ever since. Pep has only failed in the Champions League but he has a chance to make it happen this season.

The Manchester derby will probably be won by Manchester City as they are much better in every way at the moment. Defensively, scoring goals and dominating the game they can always maintain and Manchester City proved it at Old Trafford in early November with a score of 0-2. Rangnick may be the difference with his strategy, but Manchester United's form is not so good.

Taking a step forward does not mean 1 step in the true sense, there is a figure of speech contained in the sentence. Lol  Grin (Itlaqul'a Wairdatulkhos), forget it!!. What is certain is that Man City will always be ahead of Man United at this time in terms of performance in every game. As a Manchester Derby, there is no doubt about the achievements that Pep has brought to his team at Man City who has won quite brilliant awards this year. Man City which is able to maintain its position for a long time is not a figment. Now Man City will not be easily conquered by Man United.

Meriting this as I sometimes feel like a lone voice saying that Ronaldo is not helping them. Glad someone else sees it the same way! He was the wrong purchase for them, and he brings deficiencies to the team, notably his lack of work and lack of tracking back when out of possession. And these are deficiencies that other top teams will exploit. The downside is often masked by the upside, which is his goalscoring record. The problem is teams need to be teams, not collections of individuals.

Yup.  He has somewhat become a liability because the whole squad has to adjust to how he plays due to his deficiencies that you already mentioned.

And what happened to Cavani?  Try using him instead.  It could give the squad a better look out there.

True true, so I guess the manager should just bench him and have him wave at the crowd at thr start of the match, at half time and at full time.  They get the best of both worlds.  Ronaldo shirt and ticket sales and the squad plays good football.  Cheesy

Seriously tho Man United as club has to do something at some point.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo just leaving name only and his quality have been drop during how age right now, better forget about how many trophies have given by Cristiano Ronaldo last several years when have young age and potential player for Manchester United, right now is not his time again for become regular player on Manchester United, I know with his several goals for Manchester United in this season but last several match he failed and forget how to make goal again, always waste good chance with create goal but he can't give top performance for Manchester United right now.

If the Abramovich statement is true, it is a really brave and human thing to do. I know most of these oligarchs are hardcore criminals, he is probably as well, but if he plans to give all of the money he receives from the Chelsea sale to the victims of the war than he will become a good guy in my book.

With this statement he is basically making a stand against Putin's regime and that takes a lot of courage. Well done Roman.

I think it's too early to jump to conclusions in this story. As you rightly noted, Abramovich is an ordinary criminal element acting as Putin's wallet. The fact that he decided to deceive his master (become a "good guy" in the civilized world and, of course, keep some of Putin's money for himself) does not make him a good person.
I wonder if all this will affect Chelsea? At the very least, I expect that with the change of ownership, the financial policy of the club should change.

Personally, it's really less about how good Ronaldo is -- he's older, so not as quick, we all know that. His finishing is still right up there with the best though, but if you don't supply, you don't get chances to convert, and that's the real problem when building a squad around Ronaldo (as Juventus found out now he's left).

Key to this then is to have Pogba and Fernandes do their job. Stifle the midfield, get creative and provide the supply.

They can beat City, they always do, Pogba usually key to that. 10/1 for United to win (I have one bet already 9.8 waiting to out more once it's 10/1 or more), with their H2H against City? I'm taking that all day, any day.

we have seen how the performance of Ronaldo's game has decreased. we often see him having to be withdrawn and replaced with other players to maintain the stability of the team. although sometimes Ronaldo regretted the actions of the coach who replaced him in the second half or even he had to be substituted in the first half.
however, it is the coach who sees how best to excel the team. of course the best game must be maintained for the full 90 minutes.
