Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel fears a hiding for his old team at Manchester City.
Going into Sunday's game at the Etihad Stadium, Schmeichel is concerned about United's indifferent form, which has seen them earn a creditable draw with Chelsea but lose to Leicester and Swansea.
"It (the derby) is a tricky one for Manchester United because of their inconsistency," Schmeichel said.
"When you looked at how the season was going to pan out for any team last year you would say Man City were favourites (for the title).
"Eventually they did win the Premier League, but this year they have Chelsea as competition. They had a slow start and we don't really know where Man City is, but United have been so inconsistent.
"They have defended badly and then well, scored a lot of goals and then not a lot of goals - the Leicester game was the best example of that.
"They went 1-0 up, 2-0 up then 3-1 up and lost 5-3. That's unheard of.
"That's not Manchester United or the way they want to be. We don't know what we will get on Sunday."
