Rúben Amorim Shrugs Off Guardiola Comparisons Ahead of Manchester Derby

Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim doesn’t think it’s fair to compare him with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola. He said Guardiola “is winning all the time” and can relax, while Amorim needs to prove himself every day.

That guy is winning all the time! To compare me with the situation of Guardiola, it’s just a joke.” He added that Guardiola can now relax even if he stops winning, but for him, the pressure to succeed never stops. This derby match is particularly important as both managers have led their teams to top performances this season.
