Ilkay Gundogan could make a sensational Manchester City debut at Manchester United on Saturday.
The Guardian says he could be thrust straight into action ahead of the Manchester derby with the midfielder recovering from his knee injury.
City's £21million man has yet to make his debut for Pep Guardiola's side after dislocating his knee cap at former club Borussia Dortmund.
But Gundogan is ready to give Guardiola a welcome headache with news that he is available for selection.
With a lack of football over the summer, the 25-year-old will most likely start on the bench but will be hoping to get some action under his belt in the biggest fixture of the season so far.
