Incredible story behind plan to merge Man Utd & Man City

Premier League

During the 1960s, plans were proposed for fierce rivals Manchester United and Manchester City to merge in the Premier League and form a new super club. The plans were reportedly discussed more than once, with the rivalry between the two teams more friendly 60 years ago than it is now. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ultimately, though, the merger never happened after United gave it little consideration and many at City opposed it after plans were first proposed by Man City vice-chairman Frank Johnson in 1964.

Premier League

Kevin De Bruyne has revealed that Manchester City only spent 10 minutes preparing to face Manchester United before last week’s 2-0 win at Old Trafford.

Pep Guardiola explains how he made Cristiano Ronaldo ‘suffer’ in Manchester derby

Premier League

Pep Guardiola claims Manchester City planned to make Cristiano Ronaldo suffer by starving Manchester United of possession at Old Trafford. City coasted to victory in the derby as an own goal from Eric Bailly and a strike from close range by Bernardo Silva sealed a 2-0 win for the Premier League side. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Red devils looks far short of being able to compete with City as they registered only one shot on target, while Ronaldo had the fewest touches out of any player who started the game. And Guardiola has revealed that City’s game plan was to control the entire match, meaning that United’s attempts to only play on the counter-attack would give limited chances for Ronaldo to be involved.

‘It’s Anfield, it’s Old Trafford’ – Guardiola takes swipe at Liverpool & Man Utd

Premier League

Pep Guardiola aimed a dig at Liverpool and Manchester United after he was left unimpressed by the referee decisions during Manchester City’s draw against the Reds. Guardiola was adamant that a Liverpool player should have been sent off during Sunday’s clash after James Milner – already on a yellow card – chopped down City's Bernardo Silva. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Referee Paul Tierney only gave Man City a free-kick but did not give a second yellow card, while VAR did not intervene as it was not seen as a ‘clear and obvious error’.
