Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has expressed his admiration for Manchester United’s rich history, calling them the best team in England in terms of their legacy.
Speaking to the media ahead of the FA Cup final, Guardiola emphasized the importance of respecting United’s achievements, despite City being favored to win.
While acknowledging City’s dominance in recent years, Guardiola acknowledged United’s storied past, saying, “We have a lot of respect for United, always have since I arrived, for their history.
In the last decade, we’ve been better, but in terms of history, they’re the best team in England. You have to respect them massively for that.”
Guardiola’s comments come as the two Manchester teams prepare to face off in the FA Cup final for the second consecutive year. Despite City’s favored status, Guardiola is urging his team to approach the match with humility and respect for their opponents’ legacy.
