4 reasons United will win the Manchester derby

In less than 24 hours, the Manchester derby will come
alive at the Old Trafford where two old ‘rivals’ will clash
for the maximum three points in a Week-4 fixture of the
2016/2017 EPL season.
The battle ground will not only be having two teams
from the same city converging at Old Trafford, but also
two of the most talked about coaches in the world.

Jose Mourinho cannot wait to have his own pound of
flesh against Pep Guardiola who has the upper hand in
terms of victories in their previous meetings.
Here are the four reasons Mourinho will win the
Manchester derby
1. Experience

Most of Mourinho’s coaching career has been spent in
England so going into the derby on Saturday, September
10, the former Chelsea tactician knows the feel of what
the match might become.
Jose Mourinho has experience in his advantage over his
debutant
Unlike Pep who is just having his first acid test as a
coach in the EPL, there are possibilities that the contest
may sway the way of his long time foe.
2. Jose is better prepared
Since assuming his position in July, the ‘Special One’
has taken his managerial career with the Red Devils
with much seriousness knowing full well the competitive
nature of the Premier League.
The former Real Madrid coach had signed all the
players needed to execute the new campaign except for
Pogba whose deal dragged for while because of the
Euro 2016 championships.

summer

But Mourinho is not taken anything for granted and has
instilled the mentality into his team about winning the
Premeir League this season.

3. A life time opportunity
Mourinho has been craving for this moment all his life
play Guardiola with an equally strong team not the one
that had Lionel Messi or the embarrassing riches of
Bayern Munich.

Guardiola’s victories still haunts the former Real Madrid
Boss in the league and continental levels and it is a
nightmare United’s coach wants to end in the local
derby.
4. Head-to-Head
Apart from the superior advantage of City’s coach over
the Portuguese, Manchester United traditionally
triumphs over their rivals and history favours the Red
Devils.

Of the 171 games played between the two sides, United
have won 71, with 51 draws; City have only managed 49
wins.
