Although Cunha made positive hints about his injury progress during international match day, neither he nor his teammate Mason Mount seemed to be able to catch up with Manchester United's Manchester derby battle with Manchester City! Transfer expert Ben Jacobs revealed that they may still need to be injured for several weeks.

26-year-old Cunya and Mount were both injured in the first half of Manchester United's match against Burnley. Cunyala was replaced directly, while Mount insisted on leaving the game until the break. Jacobs revealed: "These two players will watch on the wall for several weeks. I think their injuries are not particularly serious and will not be absent for a long time, so there is no need to worry."

Manchester United coach will disclose more injury progress at the pre-match press conference on Friday, but British media expect that in addition to Cunya and Mount, long-term injury Lisandro Martinez will also be absent.

On the positive side, the 27-year-old Argentine central defender is one step closer to his return and has now returned to Carrington grass for outdoor training. However, it will take some time for Lima to return to the first team, and he has been unable to compete since the ACL torn in February against Crystal Palace.

But Monaco's all-around defender Mazravi is expected to return to the starting lineup, which will fill the injury problem of Portugal international Diogu Dalo, who was strained during international match day and withdrew from the national team. It is not yet known whether he can play in Manchester City.

After returning in last month's 3-2 win over Burnley, Mazravi looks like he's ready to start after two weeks of international match day. He can serve as a right wingback or a guest star in the centre-back.

If Cunha and Mount are unable to participate, Manchester United's new center Seschko, signed by 85 million euros, will have the opportunity to play the main player for the first time at the Etihad Stadium. Jacobs said: "I think this is a passive opportunity to let Seshko play."

It is reported that after the international match day, the Slovenian national team players received a day off before returning to their respective clubs. But Seshko gave up the holiday and flew back to Manchester.

Sheshko went back to Carrington training base for practice and prepared for the Manchester derby. His attitude has been recognized by fans, but he still needs to prove himself with actual performance. His predecessor Hoylund also has a good spirit, but lacks the ability to match his value, so he eventually had to leave the team.

Sheshko has not started in the Premier League yet after joining Manchester United at a high price, so his performance is not outstanding. On the international match day, he also performed mediocrely on behalf of Slovenia, without scoring or winning, and even lost 0-3 to Switzerland. But if he can break through Manchester City's goal, it will be of great help to his integration into the Red Devils.

After the first three games of the Premier League, the two Manchester City players were in a bad state. The home team Manchester City has lost to Tottenham and Brighton in a row, and people doubt whether Guardiola's team is capable of competing for the championship this season. Although Manchester United relied on defeating Burnley 3-2 and surpassed their mortal enemies, the situation was also unsatisfactory.

Similarly, both teams have many injuries, not only Manchester United's Cunnia and Mount, Manchester City's new aid Sherki also suffered a thigh injury and will be out for two months. Forward Marmush also suffered a knee injury in the Egyptian team's game and missed Sunday's derby. Interestingly, both teams may arrange their goalkeeper's debut by buzzer-beating in the summer window, Manchester City signed Italian goalkeeper Donnarumma, while Manchester United has 23-year-old Belgian young player Senna Lamons.
