While Manchester City has won the Premier League in two of the past three seasons and are widely considered a better than club right now than Manchester United, Louis van Gaal says they still have a long ways to go to catch up.
United play City in the 168th Manchester derby on Sunday.
Van Gaal said: “Abroad we have more fans and followers on social media. Also Bayern Munich is the biggest club of Germany. The same thing for Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain. It [would take] a long time for Manchester City to reach that level.”
Pellegrini said: “If you just go by the success of the last years, this team won two of the last three titles and we were runners-up in the other. Manchester United have a lot of stories of winning an important amount of titles. Maybe football is in the present and I think in the last two or three years, this team has done better.”
