Dwight Yorke backs Manchester United in Saturday's derby

Manchester United "have the edge" over Manchester City entering Saturday's derby at Old Trafford, claims former Red Devils striker Dwight Yorke.

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has claimed that the Red Devils "have the edge" over Manchester City entering Saturday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

Both Man United and Man City have won their opening three Premier League matches, while this weekend will see Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola lock horns for the first time since they went head to head in La Liga.

Yorke, who won three Premier League titles and the FA Cup with Man United, has backed his former side to overcome their rivals, who will be without the services of suspended striker Sergio Aguero.

"It is very difficult to call this game. Both teams are playing fantastically and both managers have made an amazing start. The impact Mourinho and Guardiola have had with their teams has been impressive and the players have certainly responded to them," Yorke told Sky Sports News.

"Manchester United are turning around and winning games they would have lost last season. Jose has brought the winning mentality back to United. We know Pep is an outstanding manager, we know he's been a winner wherever he's been and he seems to have implemented that in his squad at City.

"It's very difficult to call this game at this moment in time but I feel Sergio Aguero's suspension will be a big blow for City, although they still have plenty of quality players to come in there. Despite that, with the game being played at Old Trafford, I just feel United have the edge over City."

Last season's Manchester derby at Old Trafford, which took place in October, finished goalless.
