Manchester United vs Manchester City enhanced odds: get 50-1 for a goal to be scored

Carrick will be given a baptism of fire in his opening game as United's interim boss as he must rally the troops ahead of the season's second Manchester derby. 

Ruben Amorim was in the dugout for September's 3-0 thrashing at the Etihad but there is optimism that Carrick, who had Middlesbrough playing some scintillating attacking football at times, can get a tune out of a talented Red Devils squad. 

He certainly isn't short of attacking options, with Benjamin Sesko, Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha all capable of the spectacular, and it would be no surprise to see United go on the front foot against their rivals. 

Stopping City is another thing altogether, though. Pep Guardiola's title challengers come into the derby following an impressive 2-0 win at Newcastle, one which followed a 10-1 rout of League One Exeter in the FA Cup. 

The Citizens have scored a league-high 45 goals this term – 20 of which have come from superstar striker Erling Haaland – but United aren't too far behind, with their 36 strikes being the third-most in the Premier League, suggesting an exciting Manchester derby is on the cards.
