Not seen/heard anything about it being postponed?
It's away and not on TV so there's unlikely to be any news for a while.

Its on just not on mutv but the highlights are on tomorrow night
City v United
City edge Tight Tussle
In a very tense derby match at Platt Lane this morning, very little separated the teams until City snatched a late goal to win the game.
United had the best of the first half without really putting the City keeper under any pressure. The second half belonged to City and it felt just a matter of time before they created something concrete.
Their breakthrough came with ten minutes to go, when a cross from the left found an unmarked blue shirt and after controlling the ball he beat Joe Dudgeon and put the ball past the despairing Conor Devlin.
United then upped the tempo and nearly equalised with a fine volley from Ollie Norwood, however the City keeper made an outstanding save.

Pity that, although not that unexpected.
Match report from a City site.
Clearly from a City perspective.

Sounds like we were slightly unlucky to lose away to the league leaders. Can't be too disappointed with that. Did you watch the game, MUJAC? Any outstanding performers?
Nice English sounding names there.
That City report makes it sound as though King wasn't up to much but that's just a guess I suppose.To be fair we looked a bit tired! No-one was really outstanding....Thorpe played well, and Curran did well when he came on.
But City have a good team.
I played at Platt Lane on Thursday, sporting a fetching United shirt whilst singing "this is how it feels to be City"
That's shocking. Isn't it illegal to pass your work off as theirs?
From the highlights Morrison again looked impressive. He was playing centre midfield for the academy for the first time
Yeah, I just saw those now. Morrison did indeed look lively. Macheda did some very nice things after coming on. We seemed unlucky to lose to a team full of bigger lads.
Petrucci also had his customary few moments of class
If that Macheda chipped ball from the wing to Norwood who then volleyed it sweetly on target had gone in it would have been one of the best goals I'd have seen all season. We played some good stuff at times, shame we couldn't take any of our chances though.
'twas on MUTV.
Yea I assumed so but normally jb8521 puts it up on youtube or gets links to them somehow..
I normally put up uniteds goals and a few highlights but there wasnt really enough to be worthwhile to be honest
You must know us fans better than that surely.. Anything will do.. a good pass, a crunching tackle, a moment of magic.. That is what it is all about really..
