How many Manchester derbies have there been? | OneFootball

Manchester City and Manchester United will play out the 196th Manchester derby this weekend.

City have won on 62 occasions, with United victorious 80 times. The two sides could not be separated in 53 of the previous 195 matches.

The first competitive meeting between the sides came in 1891 in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup. City were then called Ardwick AFC and Manchester United went by the name of Newton Heath.

Newton Heath won 5-1 at their North Road ground. As this was a qualifying round of the FA Cup, some organisations do not include it in their records.

However, the next match will be considered the 196th competitive meeting between the two clubs on all Manchester City channels.

We have met twice already this season with City winning the Community Shield at Wembley, while United secured a late victory at the Etihad in December.
