I have the feeling that Manchester United are coming back and that makes me happy, Guardiola

While Pep Guardiola has been rolling the Premier League with Manchester City since his arrival, winning it four times in six attempts, city rival Manchester United have been searching since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. But that is over, according to the Spanish coach.

While Pep Guardiola has been rolling the Premier League with Manchester City since his arrival, winning it four times in six attempts, city rival Manchester United have been searching since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. But that is over, according to the Spanish coach.

Erik ten Hag arrived at Old Trafford from Ajax before the season and changes were immediately evident. Although it took some time, it is safe to say that Manchester United are on the right track and his work is starting to show.

It’s definitely not that he came into Manchester like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and started getting better results, it’s just that it basically wasn’t visible in his play.

Then when the aura around the Norwegian coach faded, the Red Devils went slowly downhill again. Still, Solskjaer did a great deal of work for his club, which was very important in their further development.

In fact, he started a renewal by bringing in a number of players that the Hag can now lean on. Thanks to this, Manchester United are in 6th place with 20 points, with 3. Tottenham are 3 points behind but have a game in hand.

“I feel Manchester United are coming back. I saw it on Thursday and also against Chelsea in the first half. I already said that I like what I see now in United,” Guardiola told the press conference before the game against Leicester, which, by the way, the Citizens won 1: 0 even without Erling Haaland, who did not start due to injury.

At the same time, the Spanish coach noted that Newcastle is also an interesting competitor, which has only blossomed since the arrival of the new owner.

They are currently in 4th place with 21 points and they haven’t really gotten going in the transfer market yet, as their activity is expected to get higher and higher. However, the club from the north of England are going about it in a very sympathetic manner and for that they are reaping plaudits, not just sporting ones.

So we are talking about the fact that very soon there will be 7 instead of 6 top teams in the Premier League. The pressure on the 4 Champions League places will be enormous, which will certainly put pressure on UEFA to increase the number of English teams in the European cups, especially the Champions League.

Otherwise, the clamour for the creation of a Super League, which has just recently hit hard with the European association, could grow louder. However, change will be inevitable as the top clubs get stronger.
