00:00Kobe Maynard could be back when Manchester United face Man City in the Manchester Derby this weekend.
00:06We're here at Carrington where Ruben Ameriem has just given his pre-match press conference ahead of the Manchester Derby encounter on Sunday afternoon.
00:14The headline news from a team news perspective is that Kobe Maynard should be fit enough, hopefully, for the bench pending a late assessment.
00:21He's been back in training this week. The hope is he will be fit enough to be on the bench, although Ameriem says he is unlikely to be available to start the match.
00:29He did say that Mason Mount is in contention to start. Of course, he made his return from injury, a cameo against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
00:37So you could see Maynard on the bench. You could see Mason Mount in the starting line-up.
00:41You might not see even Tyresh Gillick in the starting line-up, though.
00:44Ruben Ameriem confirmed that he is a doubt for the match. He suffered an issue in the 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
00:51It remains to be seen whether or not he will be fit enough to start the game.
00:56If not, you'd say it will probably be Haram Gwaii who comes into the back three alongside Lane Yorrow and Nuzar Mazraoui.
01:02In terms of other news, Ruben Ameriem paid tribute to one of the greatest Premier League midfielders and players of all time, Kevin De Bruyne,
01:09after he announced that this will be his last season with Man City.
01:12The Belgian will leave upon expiry of his contract this summer.
01:16He's not going to retire, but he will look at new opportunities.
01:20I don't think he'll be coming to Old Trafford, though, so that's one to scratch off your summer transfer bingo card.
01:26Ruben Ameriem has already beaten Guardiola twice this season.
01:29Once in the Champions League with Sport England, but once in the Premier League with Manchester United.
01:34He'll be looking to make a third time lucky this weekend.
01:37Of course, United's main priority is against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final.
01:41Next Thursday night, Ameriem said he will not be a wrestling player this weekend for that match.
01:47The priority is still to win as many Premier League games as possible,
01:50but he did suggest that there could be a few players rotated when they travel to face Newcastle a week on Sunday.
01:55A reminder to the team, Mane should be back on the bench.
01:58Mason Mount could start for United against Man City.
02:00Matthijs de Ligt is a doubt.
