Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed his belief that Manchester United will experience a resurgence with the backing of their new investor, Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe recently acquired a significant stake in the club, and he aims to elevate United’s competitive standing, hoping they can challenge City’s dominance.
Responding to Ratcliffe’s aspirations for United, Guardiola stated, “As soon as the teams admit it, they will be closer to us.”
He acknowledged the competitive spirit this investment brings but emphasized his primary focus on Manchester City’s performance.
While Guardiola welcomes the prospect of increased competition, he remains dedicated to driving City’s success.
As it stands, Manchester City sits second in the Premier League, trailing leaders Liverpool by four points with a game in hand, while Manchester United currently occupies the sixth position.
