Sunday's Manchester derby takes centre stage in Saturday's back pages, and for good reason.

The Manchester rivals clash for the first time this season on Sunday, and shots are already being fired through the press.

In The Star, Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says that new United manager Louis van Gaal is no better than former United manager David Moyes.

Lastly, in The Sun, Van Gaal says that he's not jealous of Manchester City. Meanwhile, Pellegrini says that he was priced out of buying Di Maria when Real Madrid were looking to sell.
