The time has come for the first Manchester Derby of the season, taking place at Old Trafford this Sunday. United’s only win so far came on home soil, so they’re bound to be pleased to have their home comforts back, where they stormed through with a 5-2 win. Though facing a City side that has not yet lost a game since the start of the season, in both the EPL and UCL, will not be a comfortable experience.
In general, Manchester United shouldn’t feel too timid, since they put multiple goals past Liverpool, Villa, Chelsea, as well as Man City themselves, here at Old Trafford last season. Still searching for his first goal of the season, this could be just the fixture for Matheus Cunha to find the net. It goes without saying that Cunha is a very confident player, one that doesn’t get intimidated by facing the big teams, scoring two out of his last three against two of the EPL Big Six. At odds of +260, Matheus Cunha to Score is worth taking.

Our Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction
Arriving here on the back of seven goals scored in their last two matches, the Red Devils have built the best momentum possible to take on their biggest rivals, the one team that they will want to be victorious over the most.
Matheus Cunha thrives in games like this, in which his team can hit on the break, as he loves to run in behind, as well as take shots from range. Plus, in front of a home crowd in United’s biggest game, Cunha would love to note his first goal of the 26/27 season this Sunday.
Our Manchester United vs Manchester City Pick: Matheus Cunha to Score.
