Manchester City have struggled in the pre-season, winning just one of their four games and losing three, while they have also had a poor record in the Charity Cup in the last three seasons they have played. Pep Guardiola’s side have lost every single one of them since 2021.
On the Manchester United side , in this summer’s warm-up matches they won 2 and lost 3, but what’s interesting is that they’ve accelerated to close deals to acquire new players to join the สมัคร ufabet team and have already succeeded in two of them, Leni Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, while in this competition the last time they entered was in 2016, and it was the Red Devils who beat Leicester City 2-1 and won the championship at that time.

Predict the possibility and results of the competition
The season kicks off with the “Manchester Derby”, which is the same match as the last game of the previous season, the FA Cup final, when Manchester United unexpectedly won 2-1. Of course, since this is a charity match, both teams may not be playing at their full potential, but it would be good for them to really test their strengths before the official start of the season next weekend. The
game is expected to be Manchester City who will dominate the ball and attack, while Manchester United will follow the same plan, focusing on playing carefully and relying on City’s mistakes to counterattack. Erik ten Hag is known for playing big and often using his best players even in insignificant games. However, the Red Devils are facing serious problems at center back, with many of their key players injured, including new signing Leni Yoro, who will be out for up to 3 months. Pep may choose to use a mixed team and rotate during the game, which could make the game more exciting and competitive. There is a high chance that the game will end in a draw and may have to go to a penalty shootout.
Score Prediction: Manchester City 1-1 Manchester United (Manchester United win on penalties)
