Doubts surround Ruben Amorim's participation in the upcoming Manchester City match due to his current injury concerns at Manchester United

Uncertainty grows over Ruben Amorim's participation in the Manchester United vs Manchester City match due to his current injury concerns.

Manchester United have made a significant investment of £200 million in new attacking talent over the summer transfer window. With the addition of these new players, head coach Ruben Amorim is under pressure to turn around the club's fortunes.

Diogo Dalot has started in each of Manchester United's three Premier League fixtures this season, but he is currently sidelined due to muscular discomfort. As a result, Amad Diallo, who is more attacking than Dalot, is likely to deputise as the right-sided wing-back for Manchester United.

The upcoming Manchester United match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium could see Amad Diallo start in this role. If he does, he will face a test against Manchester City's wide attackers.

Manchester United lost to Manchester City in their previous encounter in the Premier League, and the team has struggled throughout much of 2025. However, they are seeking back-to-back Premier League victories after the international break, with a 3-2 victory over Burnley secured by a stoppage time penalty from Bruno Fernandes.

A full pre-season under head coach Ruben Amorim and the arrival of a new attacking trio were hoped to galvanise Manchester United, but it remains to be seen whether this will translate into consistent performances on the pitch.

Diogo Dalot has also been involved in Manchester United's Carabao Cup exit against Grimsby Town, but his absence due to injury could provide an opportunity for Amad Diallo to prove himself in the first team.

Manchester United fans will be hoping for a strong showing against their city rivals in the upcoming match, as they look to close the gap on Manchester City in the Premier League table.
