While the fan base and media rustle up a big hoo-ha ahead of game day, United boss Marc Skinner said not much has changed in the dressing room.

He said: "They [the players] understand the magnitude of the game but also what I love about this team is that now, it's not become a big moment.

"Two years ago for sure it would've been almost a distraction, actually at this point in time it's about focus and getting down to business, because they know if they don't go on that pitch and perform then it's not worth it for us. But actually, when we perform we can beat anybody. We know that, regardless of how good Manchester City are, we know we can beat anybody.
