Today, Sunday, Manchester City can secure the Premier League title when Aston Villa visit, which in that case would be the fourth league title in five years.
Despite the success of the city rival, many Manchester United supporters would rather see City win the league, rather than Liverpool do it – where the rivalry extends much further back in time.
At a press conference before the decisive match, Pep Guardiola had to answer the question how he felt about the fact that several United fans actually hope that his team will win.
– Are you sure? So United fans like City more than Liverpool? My God, I did not know that. Is it true? says the City coach according to the Manchester Evening News.
The on-site journalists assured Guardiola if this was in fact true.
– So I was wrong when I said that everyone in England wants Liverpool to win? I was wrong. Okay, welcome. Welcome to those (United fans) who want to join us. But they have to wear a blue shirt.
Manchester City tops the Premier League table one point ahead of Liverpool. The Merseyside club will face Wolverhampton in the final round.
