Manchester United and Manchester City have been interlinked in a fierce derby for several decades.
From Rooney to Aguero, the match has seen many big names over the years.
But, often, the stars of these matches are the ones you least it expect it to be.
Whether its Scott McTominay in 2020 or another legendary moment from any one of the matches played, the Manchester derby arguably never fails to deliver.
However, it is not just at a senior level where the derby is present.
From the under-21 level all the way down to younger age groups, the derby can be looked at as a prominent fixture.
Now, today, the latest edition of the derby has taken place at an under-21 level.
Taking place today, Manchester United’s under-21 side beat Manchester City’s under-21s side 2-1.
Fresh off scoring yesterday for the under-18s side, Amir Ibragimov scored the winner against the Citizens today.
Furthermore, Chido Obi scored United’s first game through intercepting the ball before shifting it onto his left foot and shooting the ball past the ‘keeper.
Obi had previously hinted at unhappiness at United.
Either side of these goals, City’s equalizer came through Reigan Heskey.
With this game now finished, the Manchester United side will take a lot of pride in that they beat their local rivals.
However, the defense will arguably be unhappy that they conceded in the late stages of the match.
Now, focus will turn towards the under-21’s next game in the coming weeks as they build themselves as an established side.
Furthermore, the under-21 set-up is one of the final stages before the official academy and first team.
Therefore, the players playing for the side may want to impress to give themselves the best chance of playing professionally.
Arguably, beating Manchester City is the correct way to start this.
