Two former Bundesliga stars are relishing the opportunity to make their mark on the Manchester derby when third-placed United host Premier League leaders City at Old Trafford.

Bastian Schweinsteiger ended a 17-year association with Bayern Munich to join United in July, while Kevin De Bruyne has continued the form that made him Bundesliga player of the year last term at Wolfsburg since becoming City s record signing.

Despite his lengthy spell with Bayern, Schweinsteiger rarely got a taste of cross-town hostilities due to the ailing fortunes of neighbours 1860 Munich, who share a ground with the Bundesliga champions, but have not competed in Germany s top flight since 2003-04.

I am definitely looking forward to the derby against City,  the Germany captain told Un…

Fabio Cannavaro has lavished praise on the talents of Real Madrid defenders Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos and Pepe.

The former Italy centre-back who played for the club between 2006 and 2009 explained how the natural ability of the teenage Frenchman, leadership qualities of the ex-Sevilla man and Portugal international s versatility have combined to great effect.

Varane s great because he plays with the type of composure that is not normal for a boy his age. He comes across as a veteran of the game and I like him because he makes things look simple, Cannavaro told Marca.

He is already one of the best centre-backs in the world. I know him well and I knew he could get to this level.

(Ramos) is a born leader. He is always hungry to win, compete and improve…

Sven Ulreich s huge error ultimately proved decisive as Real Madrid progressed to the Champions League final thanks to a 2-2 draw in an enthralling semi-final second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bayern took the lead in the third minute, Joshua Kimmich opening the scoring following a mistake by Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.

The hosts were quick to reply but it was Karim Benzema and not Cristiano Ronaldo, making an outfield record 152nd appearance in the competition, who took centre stage.

Benzema s close-range header ensured Madrid s deficit lasted only eight minutes, a…

Chelsea star Eden Hazard does not believe he is selfish enough to win the Ballon d Or.

The Belgium international has made the Ballon d Or shortlist in three of the past four years but, despite winning the PFA Players Player of the Year in 2014-15, he has never finished higher than eighth in the voting.

And Hazard, who scored 12 goals and laid on four assists in the Premier League this season, believes his personality and style of play would not allow him to take world football s top prize or even a Golden Boot.

He always told me that, Hazard told BBC Sport of his father s belief that he is too selfless. Maybe it s true.

I think, in football now, if you want to win something like the Ballon d Or or [to be the] top-scorer, you need to be selfish. But I m …

Pep Guardiola expressed gratitude to Didier Deschamps for picking the best left-sided central defender in Europe after Aymeric Laporte finally received a France call-up.

Les Bleus boss Deschamps ended the uncapped Manchester City defender s lengthy exile by naming him in the squad to face Albania and Andorra in Euro 2020 qualifying.

Laporte s performances have forced Guardiola to revise his opinion of the former Athletic Bilbao player, a day after Liverpool counterpart Virgil van Dijk was crowned UEFA Men s Player of the Year.
