In a difficult location before the derby of Manchester, the coach of United, Ruben Amorim, evoked the deviation of palmares between him and his rival Pep Guardiola.
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.
