Wayne Rooney discloses Pep Guardiola's plan to 'expose' Erik ten Hag's team in derby

Former striker Wayne Rooney stated that Pep Guardiola would recall Riyad Mahrez for Manchester Derby on October 2 to "expose" Tyrell Malacia. Rooney stated that Malacia is fallible on his weaker right foot.

Therefore, the Manchester United legend expects that Pep Guardiola can start Riyad Mahrez on the right wing to make it tough for Tyrell Malacia, who will be playing his first derby. Pep Guardiola is the manager of Manchester City. Rooney expressed his thoughts while previewing the upcoming clash between Manchester United and Manchester City. Rooney also stated that Malacia could play a critical role in the United's games.

Despite being one of the standout players for Manchester City, Riyad Mahrez has been a peripheral figure this season. The 31-year-old footballer has only begun two PL (Premier League ) matches following his 11 goals in the 2021-22 season.


On the other hand, it is Tyrell Malacia's first campaign in English football. He joined Manchester United from Feyenoord for £13 million during the transfer window this summer. Malacia displaced Luke Shaw for the position of left-back. Notably, Malacia has started all the six games of Manchester United since their 4-0 defeat to Brentford in August.

Additionally, Wayne Rooney predicted that Haaland would be the danger man for Manchester City. Haaland has scored 14 goals in his first ten appearances after leaving German football club Borussia Dortmund. However, Manchester United football club manager Erik ten Hag has avoided being fixated on Haaland.
