Pep Guardiola suggests he’s not underestimating Manchester United ahead of their highly anticipated matchup
Manchester United are hard at work as they look to take on Pep Guardiola and his men in the Manchester derby tonight. Man City is easily one of the best teams in the world at the moment.
On the other hand, the Red Devils have seen quite a bit of struggle this season. However, if their recent form is any indication of what’s about to come, we can expect this highly anticipated matchup to be one for the books.
Even Pep Guardiola hasn’t made the mistake of counting Manchester United out. The Spanish manager has indicated that tonight could end up being an exciting matchup. Let’s have a look at what he had to say. (h/t Fabrizio Romano)
“Do you remember what happened when United went to Anfield? Last season, 7-0”.
“Do you remember the comments? ‘How many goals are they going to score? It will be easy for Liverpool’. Result: Liverpool didn’t win”. “United is United. It’s Man United”.
Guardiola was speaking about Liverpool and United’s meeting in December. Everyone expected the Reds to dominate but Erik ten Hag and team stood tall and held Klopp’s mean to a goalless tie.
This shows that one can never count Manchester United out. They may have struggled this season, but they’ve also won four out of their last five games. Moreover, The Dutchman’s job may be riding on the result so his team will likely be playing their heart out.
