MANCHESTER City youngster, Kelechi Iheanacho says he's ready to fire the Citizens to glory against rivals United, reports NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com.
The Nigerian could step up in place of the suspended Sergio Aguero as the two unbeaten Manchester giants go head-to-head in Saturday lunchtime's crunch Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
But City will be without the star Argentine strike to, who is suspended for three matches after the FA took action for his elbow on West Ham's Winston Reid.
However, Iheanacho, 19, is confident he can fill the void and believes he can play a starring role for Pep Guardiola's visitors.
He told The Sun of the United Kingdom: "Sergio's suspension is a big loss but we have a lot of big players to turn to.
"If I get picked I'm going to do my job. Games like this mean a lot and it doesn't come bigger than a derby."
Iheanacho is also adamant new manager Guardiola will bring success to the Etihad outfit.
He added: "He's a winner and I believe he will bring success to the club. His arrival has changed the mentality of everyone because you are starting from scratch.
'He's the special one sent to Man City and, obviously, the special one for me."
