Manchester City's manager Pep Guardiola, on the eve of the crucial match against Manchester United, expressed his support for his opponent Ruben Amorim. The Spaniard sympathized with his colleague, who continues to face a barrage of criticism from the media.
Quote: “I always wish managers are given time, I am sincere in this. It all depends on Manchester United. Every manager needs time — that's obvious. But today, clubs don't give much time. In big clubs, you need to win, and if you don't, you may face problems.
It's not easy to join a club mid-season, change the style of play, and adapt to everything. It's not easy, but I don't know what will happen at Manchester United. I'm sorry, but I don't know,” Guardiola is quoted by the BBC.
Reminder: The Manchester derby will take place today, April 6, at 17:30 Central European Time. The crucial match will be of greater importance for the "Citizens," who are in a desperate fight for a Champions League spot.
