This page aims to honour the most famous local match within the world of football, which takes place twice during the English Premiership season. Once a season it is held at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home ground, and then the reverse fixture is held once a season at the Riverside, Middlesbrough's relatively new ground. The games are never a let down, with much action taking place, and some of the most spectacular goals within the English leagues can be seen during these much treasured occasions. On this page, you can read about the most recent encounters between these two teams, but first, some information about the two clubs and their locations will be given.
