Accordingly, we at FootballFanCast are incredibly excited for the Manchester Derby… but how would things be different if Guardiola and Mourinho donned opposite dugouts for Saturday’s 12.30pm kick-off?
“It is very hard to call this game”.
Forget the midfield, who is playing up front and how strong the defensive lines will be, the first Manchester derby of the season is all about mangers Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola.
With both teams featuring some well established players, and two world-class managers, this game is set to be watched by millions of people.
“Now, they will support Manchester United”.
Home team United enter the encounter as favourites to claim the spoils and make it four wins from four Premier League outings under Mourinho’s stewardship. “We know they are a very hard rival – but we won’t settle for a draw”, Silva added.
“Despite that, with the game being played at Old Trafford, I just feel United have the edge over City”.
Emotions will be high and both sides will be desperate for three points as the high-flying and as yet undefeated sides meet at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
Sergio Aguero’s suspension will be a big blow for City.
“I think for players when you have the opportunity to work with the best managers it’s something really special”, he is quoted as saying by the Daily Star.
The Premier League will certainly present Guardiola with the toughest challenge of his career, with as many as seven clubs realistically capable of winning the title.
“They will always have one over their arch rivals as the season goes on and their fans will have the bragging rights in the city”.
