Sir Alex Ferguson’s side could win against Manchester City. Rio Ferdinand asserted that Pep Guardiola’s current Manchester City squad would not have defeated Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United squad. He thinks the Cityzens would have fought back, but ultimately fell 3-1.
The best team in the history of the league, according to experts, is Manchester City, who are poised to win another Premier League championship. People associated with Manchester United, however, frequently disagree.
On Thursday night, Ferdinand argued that playing against the current Man City would have been difficult on BT Sport. He did, however, assert that they would have triumphed and stated via Daily Mail: “Tough. Games would be challenging. Pep’s squads are challenging to play against; after all, his Barcelona club destroyed us. Haaland and De Bruyne linking would make it difficult for this squad to win, but I believe we would prevail 3-1.
Ferdinand jokingly said that he would have pocketed Haaland and added:
He would be there someplace, I’m sure. We would have to battle them and stand our ground. You cannot dispute the fact that they make a fantastic team.
Rio Ferdinand is anticipating Manchester City’s matchup with Real Madrid. In the UEFA Champions League, Rio Ferdinand has predicted that Manchester City will defeat Real Madrid and take home the triple this year.
He expressed his confidence in Pep Guardiola’s team, saying: “Manchester City has demonstrated that they are capable of winning every game they have coming up by amassing as many points as they have over the past two seasons. To question City’s chances of accomplishing the treble, which only Manchester United has done in England, would be foolish.”
He further added: “The difference [will be] the effect of Haaland. He is a fantastic player and a prolific scorer. He has demonstrated his ability to perform at the greatest level, and he is hungry and driven to earn awards. He’s the ideal fit for City.”
Real Madrid will visit City in the opening leg on May 9 before City hosts Real Madrid at the Etihad on May 17.
