Manchester City and Manchester United compete this Sunday afternoon at Etihad Stadium for the first derby of the season between the two clubs in northwestern England. A meeting that comes when the two Mancunian teams are experiencing a complicated start to the season.
However, the coach of the Red Devils, Ruben Amorim, dismisses any comparison with his Spanish counterpart, Pep Guardiola. And for good reason, before knowing a difficult period at the head of the Skyblues, the Catalan strategist occupied a place at the top, with in particular four consecutive coronations in the Premier League between 2021 and 2024.
“It's just a joke”
“You can't compare me to Guardiola. This guy wins all the time! He can rest if he no longer wins ”said Amorim at a press conference, before being more severe towards himself:
I have to prove every day. Compare myself with Guardiola's situation is just a joke. »»
After three days of the championship, United displays a balance sheet of 1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat, while City does even worse with 1 victory and 2 defeats. The two teams point to the second part of the ranking, respectively at 11ᵉ and 16ᵉ place.
