The very best Manchester United and Manchester City coverage from your new-and-improved Manchester World

Anticipation, excitement, hopes and dreams ahead of it all beginning again. As ever, it’s set to be a fascinating campaign in Manchester - we are arguably the world’s biggest football city after all. 

Is this when it finally starts to come together again for United after Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe backed Erik ten Hag? And are we really seeing a last hurrah for Pep Guardiola amid the lingering alleged 115 charges finally being decided on? 

One thing’s for sure - your new-look Manchester World is going to be there every step of the way. From transfers to injuries, stadium redevelopments to Premier League legal battles - there’s going to be plenty to track over the next nine months or so. 

Two men in particular - with a little help from some others - will guide you through all the twists and turns between now and May. 

Rich Fay is our United man and has outlined five burning questions at Old Trafford ahead of the new campaign. He’s well worth a follow on X for the very latest as it happens.  

Michael Plant will be seeing if City can continue their unprecedented run at the summit and make it five in a row. He’s over on X too for breaking news from the Etihad. 

As well as the guys themselves, we’ve also got Facebook pages dedicated to the latest from both City and United - and we think they’re well worth a follow too.

It all begins tonight with Rich at Old Trafford for the visit of Fulham. One thing is for sure - it won’t be dull. Strap in.
