The fixture, one of the biggest rivalries in English football, will see Oliver oversee proceedings as the two local rivals clash in the Premier League.
Oliver, widely regarded as one of the top officials in the English game, has previously handled several high-profile matches involving both clubs. His appointment comes as both teams look to assert their dominance in the early stages of the 2026/27 season.
Manchester United will be eager to claim bragging rights on home soil, while league leaders Manchester City will aim to maintain their strong form against their neighbours.
The derby is expected to attract a capacity crowd at Old Trafford, with emotions running high as always in this historic fixture.
Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how the contest unfolds under Oliver’s officiating.
