“This is how Man Utd will play against us” – Man City boss Guardiola
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed how he expects Manchester United to play against his Manchester City team on Saturday.
Guardiola said: “I’m pretty sure they are going to press man-to-man up front and defend deeper.
“In terms of build-up, I’m sure they’ll try to make a good one – sometimes with two false nines, sometimes more direct. I’m pretty sure they’ll attack the channels and use Bruno Fernandes to ignite something.
“They will try to make the movements in behind in the final third with crosses to Cristiano. They could play (Edinson) Cavani, (Marcus) Rashford or other ones.
“(We have to) be ready in the last minutes of the first half and the second half. I’m pretty sure they will call Sir Alex Ferguson to install the ‘Fergie Time’, because I think it’s going to happen.”
