The Rams are captained by the Reds' all-time top scorer Wayne Rooney, and also have boyhood United fans Tom Lawrence and Jason Knight in their ranks.
Lawrence spent his youth in our Academy, going on to make one first-team appearance for the club, coming off for interim manager Ryan Giggs, against Hull City in 2014.
The 26-year-old grabbed a brace in Derby’s recent 3-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday, and is looking forward to facing his former side for a third successive season, following last term’s League Cup clash, and the FA Cup third-round meeting in 2017/18.
