  "account": "Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has rejected Elliot Anderson's claim that City are the \"kings of Manchester\" ahead of Sunday's derby match. United, trailing five points behind Manchester City, will face their rivals at Old Trafford, still feeling the impact of Anderson's taunt. Anderson joined City for £116 million from Nottingham Forest, creating a hostile atmosphere for the Manchester United fan. Since Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, City have dominated the Manchester rivalry, winning seven Premier League titles and the Champions League. United, however, have made progress under new manager Carrick, who insists they still believe they can challenge City.",
