Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes eyes all three points in the highly-anticipated derby against Manchester City.
The Premier League clash, which will take place later today at Old Trafford, is crucial for both sides as the season nears the business end.
City are currently in second place with 39 points, five behind leaders Arsenal, meanwhile United are fourth with 35.
“It's a responsibility to play for this team and the demands are the same in every game. A derby is a different thing but for us the mindset is always the same. We need three points,” Fernandes said before the match.
“Obviously we want to win. Today is a big game and it is about what we can achieve today. We want to achieve a win like we do in every game,” he added.
Meanwhile, City manager Pep Guardiola believes that United are on the right track once again.
“Since I arrived in England I would say we were a little bit better, but always when I saw their squad and team I said wow they are good. I have the feeling Manchester United are back now as they always have been,” said Guardiola.
Old Trafford has been a happy hunting ground for Pep Guardiola´s men in recent years — they have only lost twice there in the league since 2011.
City put United to the sword at the Etihad in early October, hammering their rivals 6-3 to underline their position as top dogs in the city.
But that proved a turning point for new United manager Eric ten Hag, whose team have lost just once in all competitions since that dismal day and the Red Devils are just four points behind City.
Marcus Rashford is the man in form for United, scoring seven times since returning from World Cup duty in Qatar, where he impressed for England.
City have shown a few uncharacteristic chinks in their armour this season, dropping points against struggling Everton on December 31 and suffering a shock 2-0 loss against Southampton in the League Cup this week.
