Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo enters the 199th Manchester derby today at Old Trafford as a key creative outlet for manager Enzo Maresca.

Today’s fixture serves as a significant test for the wide player, with the team relying on his pace and power to break down the Manchester United defense in search of points.
