Despite City\u2019s overall dominance in English football, they have won just two of the last six meetings with United and have not tasted victory at Old Trafford in three years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:start\">Discussing the significance of the clash, Maresca emphasised that the occasion requires his players to remain true to their tactical identity while acknowledging the unique atmosphere. &#8220;It is very important for different reasons. We know how important a derby is, especially here,&#8221; he said. The manager also drew comparisons to his past experiences in European football to highlight the pressure. &#8220;A special game. The most important thing we can do is try to be ourselves and then we see the final result.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This weekend marks Maresca\u2019s first Manchester derby as the head coach, though he is no stranger to the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":612802,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[58545,85,46,22097,2617,3157,132997,277379,2619,105],"class_list":["post-612801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-e-maresca","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-j-doku","tag-manchester-city","tag-manchester-united","tag-manchester-united-vs-manchester-city","tag-n-oreilly","tag-premier-league","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=612801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/612802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=612801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=612801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
