The Manchester derby is set for this Sunday and it’s a tale of two teams on opposite sides of the tracks. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Red Devils</a> are back to their inconsistent form and are eighth in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/premier-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Premier League</a> standings with a woeful record of 5-4. 



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manchester City</a> who has obligations ranging from the league to UEFA Champions League are second 7-2 on the season and bouncing back from two defeats in a row. 



For one of the United players, Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri, he took a jab at the City fans by talking to journalist Martin Charquero and claiming he has a hard time seeing Manchester City flags and fans in Manchester. 



<h2>Facundo Pellistri pours fuel on Manchester rivalry</h2>



 On Carve Deportiva, the seldom used winger spoke about how difficult it is to see a City supporter, “Manchester is all United. You don’t see a kit or flag of City.”

“At times I go out with my girlfriend, and we tell ourselves, ‘Let’s see if we find (Manchester City flags) and it’s nowhere to be found.”
