MARTIN KEOWN: This Manchester derby is a massive opportunity for United to strike back after City's years of success... and with a rapid start and clever counters Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can stun Pep Guardiola

It was after a 4-3 win for Manchester United over a newly Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City in 2009 that Sir Alex Ferguson coined the phrase 'noisy neighbours'. Since then, it is six trophies for United and 11 for City, excluding Community Shields.

That banner at Old Trafford counting the years since City's last trophy in 1976 was torn down long ago. City aren't just 'noisy neighbours' any more. They're singing from the rooftops about their success, with Pep Guardiola aiming for a third Premier League title in four seasons.

But this Manchester derby represents a massive opportunity for United to strike back.
