Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has outlined why Manchester United are so far behind their city rivals - and it goes far beyond whoever is manager at Old Trafford
Pep Guardiola has hinted that the problems at Manchester United lie far deeper than the club’s manager after Manchester City convincingly won the derby.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson ’s 27-year tenure came to an end in 2013, United have gone through multiple managers without any sustained success. David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick have all come and gone before Ten Hag’s appointment. Guardiola was asked what the difference was between the two clubs after Sunday’s convincing derby victory, and his answer was revealing. The Catalan was keen to stress the unity that was behind the scenes at his club, with it being left unsaid that this was not the case at Old Trafford.
Guardiola was appointed by City in 2016 after the club had already made several appointments to coincide with the coach. Director of Football Txiki Begiristain had already worked with Guardiola at Barcelona, while Ferran Soriano – who had also worked at Camp Nou – was appointed as chief executive.While United have lurched from crisis to crisis in recent years, the stability of City has established them as the top football side in both England and Europe.
