In the Premier League era, Manchester United experienced a prolonged period of dominance over Manchester City in the Manchester Derbies. However, their fortunes took a turn following the takeover of the club by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, which marked the rise of Manchester City as a formidable force.
Since the retirement of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, Manchester United have faced challenges in maintaining consistent performance on the field, which is experiencing signs of improvement since the appointment of Erik ten Hag in the 2022/23 season.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have capitalized on their ownership change and financial backing, pushing forward as a competitive team. The Abu Dhabi United Group's investment has allowed City to strengthen their squad and make significant strides in their performance and achievements.
