"Manchester United" legend Peter Schmeichel did not miss the opportunity to taunt eternal rivals "Manchester City" ahead of the upcoming Manchester derby.
This Saturday, at the fortress of "Old Trafford", the highly anticipated meeting of teams led by Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho will take place. The former goalkeeper believes that "Man City" has no chance of ever becoming as grand a club as "Man Utd".
"No one can say that we cannot consider Manchester United the greatest club in the world", the Dane said. "This is a club that has many fans all over the world. The numbers speak for themselves".
"But is "Man Utd" the best club in the world? Definitely not in the last three years. They haven't even been the best in England. "Man City" has always been close to "Man Utd".
The last three years have been very unsuccessful for the "Man Utd" team. "Man City" has managed to surpass "United", but we definitely cannot consider "City" a bigger club.
"If we talk about the results of recent years, "City" is in a better position, but when it comes to fans and popularity, "Man City" is not even close to being considered a big club", added P. Schmeichel.
