We have seen many things when United and City have met over the last decade but nothing like this.
London – When Sir Alex Ferguson said five or six years ago that Manchester United’s real rivals would always be “that lot down the road”, he was talking about Liverpool.
On the face of it, United are in a horrible mess and need a victory to wash the acrid smell of Sunday’s 4-0 beating at Everton from their nostrils. But such a victory would hand Liverpool the initiative in their Premier League title battle with City. So if United’s sense of self-worth is not already being squeezed by bad football and bad results, it now faces a fresh assault from an enemy that has been kept at arm’s length for the entire Premier League era.This will be a bad summer for United, whoever wins the title. But it will be worse if it’s Liverpool.
“We have been the best before and it’s not nice seeing those two at the top. I am sure we will get a response after Sunday. There is always a crisis at Man United when you lose a game or two.” United will play to win tonight, of course, and don’t expect silence if they surprise us all and score a goal.
The champions have lost just once in the league since Boxing Day and have won their last 10 games in the competition.
