Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has warned his players to be ready for Manchester City’s dirty tricks and tactical fouling in the Old Trafford derby.
The Red Devils face their neighbours on Wednesday night looking to dent City’s title challenge.
Much has been made of City’s fine football under Pep Guardiola, but Solskjaer flagged up the fact that the champions are also cynical in retrieving the ball when they lose possession.
“We have got to be ready for their pressing.
“They have got quality on the ball so we have got to defend well, and when we win it we have got to be ready for their aggression.
“They will snap at your ankles and heels and kick you. They are not going to allow us easy counter attacking because there will be fouls, I have absolutely no doubt about it.
“When you watch those games they commit so many players forward and they will be stopping us as high as they can I think,” Solskjaer told a press conference on Tuesday.
