Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has told Manchester United to “adapt” to the fixture schedule ahead of Sunday’s Manchester derby.
City have two extra days to recover and prepare for the derby after beating Porto 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, while United thrashed Sabah 4-0 on Thursday.
Asked about the scheduling advantage, Maresca pointed to a similar situation City faced last season before their game against Arsenal.
“Sometimes it happens in football. I don’t have any doubt that Man United are going to be ready for that. It just matters to adapt,” Maresca told the BBC.
