The head coach of "Manchester United" Louis van Gaal claimed before the Manchester derby that "Manchester City" has not yet reached the level of the "Red Devils".
In the English Premier League, both teams will test their strength at the "Etihad" stadium starting today. The last five matches between them indicate that "Man Utd" is still behind, having won just one game.
"Abroad we have more supporters and also lead in the social space," - van Gaal talked about the support.
"In Germany, the biggest club is Munich's "Bayern", and in Spain - Madrid's "Real" and "Barcelona". "Man City" would have to wait to reach such a level," - said the Dutch coach.
In the Premier League, after 9 matches "Man Utd" is in eighth place, while "Man City" is in third place with 17 points.
