• Erik ten Hag has laid down his team's plans to achieve victory this afternoon

Erik ten Hag is evident with his plans to help United win the Manchester derby this afternoon at Old Trafford after saying the match depends on his team.

The Red Devils host the first derby of the season this afternoon, with both teams having different starts to the season. United are struggling while their rivals are high-flying.

Both teams last met in last season's FA Cup, and it was the sky blue side of the city that came out victorious, thanks to Ilkay Gundogan's brace, each in the early minutes of either half.

Ten Hag explains Man Utd's plan

Pep Guardiola's men won the first derby last season 6-3, while United recorded a 2-1 victory in the second. Previewing the game at Old Trafford, ten Hag explains what his team must do to win the game.

“It's not about them. Of course, it's a great team, but it's about us and how we play against them. And so, we have a clear plan, and we would have, and we have the right attitude and the right energy levels, and then we have a very good chance to win this game,” he told MUTV.

On whether form matters for today's game, he said:

“What is form? For me, form doesn't exist. It's the form of the day. And so make sure you are, on the day, in the right form.”
