Sterling impressed by Man Utd's fighting spirit with Man City wary of Rashford threat

Raheem Sterling says he has been impressed with Manchester United’s intensity and fighting spirit as he looks forward to today’s Manchester derby.

The Manchester City forward will be expected to play a key role if Pep Guardiola’s side are to avoid another let-down and keep up the pressure at the top of the Premier League table.

United were much improved in their 2-1 win over Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham in midweek, which followed draws with Sheffield United and Aston Villa and a Europa League defeat at Astana.
