Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has vowed to give everything to prevent Manchester City from winning a historic treble this season.
Manchester City remains in contention for trophies on three different fronts this season. Pep Guardiola and co. have qualified for the final of the FA Cup after defeating Sheffield United in the semi-final. Manchester City have also booked their place in the semi-final of the Champions League, where they will square off with defending champions Real Madrid.
Manchester City are also in the race for the Premier League title. They currently sit second in the points table, behind table-toppers Arsenal. In the Premier League, Arsenal enjoys a five-point lead over Manchester City but the Gunners have played two games more than the Cityzens.
Manchester City also welcomes Arsenal to the Etihad Stadium in their next game in the Premier League. The result of that fixture could prove crucial in the Premier League title race.
