The England goalkeeper will keep his place for the meeting at the Etihad Stadium, with De Gea having been allowed to travel to Spain

Dean Henderson will start in the Manchester derby as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that David de Gea will be given "as much time as he needs" after the birth of his first child.

De Gea missed the game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night after he requested to fly back to Spain to be with his partner Edurne for the birth of the couple's child, Yanay.

The Spaniard will remain with his family for the time being, with Henderson set to make his fourth league appearance of the season as United look to try and end City’s impressive 21-match winning run.
