Manchester City's Pep Guardiola sees Liverpool as his side's biggest rivals, while Manchester United's Erik ten Hag believes they are heading in the right direction. Guardiola suggests it will take time for United to challenge for the title. City has had the upper hand in recent Manchester derbies, but Ten Hag points to statistics that show improvement in his team.
Manchester City beat Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final in June in the sides' most recent meeting
In becoming only the second ever English team to complete the Treble last season, matching United's famous achievement in 1998-99, City finished 14 points ahead of their rivals in the league and beat United 2-1 in the FA Cup final. Ten Hag disagrees and pointed to certain statistics which he feels demonstrate evidence of improvement in his team.
"But pressing, we are quite good. There you see, our defensive organisation, our pressing organisation. I said before the season how we wanted to play. That is us. "We were not in the elite and now we are in the elite," Guardiola said. "Maybe it's uncomfortable for many things. That is a reality and we want to stay as long as possible."
