Pep Guardiola Looking Forward to Manchester Derby Tonight! When asked how he feels about the fact that this is the first time City trail United on the Premier League table before going into a derby, Guardiola said that’s a question for United, not City!
“It’s an ask for Man United, not for us or myself,” he told the media.
“The Previous season is the previous season. In previous seasons we did it better, that’s true. But why? That’s a question for Man United.
“Every derby is interesting and nice. Being in front or not in front. It’s always a little bit special, of course, but you have to be focused on the game.” He added.
Manchester City come from yet another victory in the UEFA Champions League midweek. Manchester United on the other hand were dumped into the Europa League.
Pep Guardiola still remains fearful of the pace that Manchester United possess on the counterattack.
“Yes of course it’s difficult (to defend against),” he said. “All big clubs have incredible players up front.
“We have to try to punish them. They know we got to Old Trafford trying to win. We cannot deny they are exceptional club and team.
“We knew it when I was at Barcelona and we faced them in the Champions League. Knew it when I arrived. I cannot say since I arrived, they do not have a good squad, they have.”
