Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the Manchester derby was the "best game that you can ask for" as Manchester United seek to bounce back from the disappointment of their Champions League exit.
United had one foot in the knockout stages after opening wins against Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig but the midweek 3-2 defeat away to the German side dumped them out of them out of the competition.
Solskjaer's stars, including Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire, worked out ahead of Saturday's Old Trafford clash with City as United look to win just their second home Premier League match of the season.
The Red Devils are sixth in the league after four straight wins, one point ahead of City, who are showing signs of hitting form after a stuttering start to the season.
Solskjaer said his players were disappointed by their Champions League exit but must now "move on".
"It was a tight group decided by fine margins," he said. "I think you can see that in most of the games.
"The focus has been good. The focus has just been on this game and the Manchester derby, which is what you want the players to get on to straight away.
"That's probably the best game that you can ask for after such a disappointment because it does stick in your system."
The issue of Paul Pogba's future dominated the build-up to the Champions League match after his agent Mino Raiola said the Frenchman was "unhappy" at the club.
"I speak to my players on a daily basis and Paul's no different to anyone else," said Solskjaer. "For me what was disappointing this week was us going out in the Champions League.
"Players want to go through in that and whatever anyone's representatives say can't really affect me."

Hydrogen: Market potential
Hydrogen has an estimated $11 trillion market potential, according to Bank of America Securities and is expected to generate $2.5tn in direct revenues and $11tn of indirect infrastructure by 2050 as its production increases six-fold.
"We believe we are reaching the point of harnessing the element that comprises 90 per cent of the universe, effectively and economically,” the bank said in a recent report.
Falling costs of renewable energy and electrolysers used in green hydrogen production is one of the main catalysts for the increasingly bullish sentiment over the element.
The cost of electrolysers used in green hydrogen production has halved over the last five years and will fall to 60 to 90 per cent by the end of the decade, acceding to Haim Israel, equity strategist at Merrill Lynch. A global focus on decarbonisation and sustainability is also a big driver in its development.
