Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes isn't worried about Man City ahead of the Manchester derby

Bruno Fernandes has admitted that he's 'not worried' about Manchester City ahead of the Manchester derby.

Manchester United have struggled for form this season and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future at the club was thrown into doubt after the Liverpool debacle two weeks ago, but the Norwegian survived to remain in charge and he will lead United again this weekend.

Pep Guardiola's side visit Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon and they come into this game on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last time out in the Premier League while in comparison United recorded a stylish 3-0 win over Tottenham.

United are three points behind City in the table and a positive result on Saturday is crucial amid mounting pressure on Solskajer.

Fernandes has confidently looked ahead to the derby and claimed that United 'can hurt' their rivals in the clash, though.

“City is a really good team, they have such good qualities on the team," Fernandes told United's in-house media.

"Individual players that can make a difference for them, but I’m not worried about them.

"I’m just focused on what we can do because I know that if we are on our highest level, we can hurt them.

"But we have to be at the highest level because they are really good players and it’ll be difficult. But it’ll be difficult for both teams.”
