Ruben Amorim frustrated ahead of United v City derby: it's a joke | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United visits City's ground and the former Sporting coach refuses comparison with Pep Guardiola

United and City face off this Sunday in the Manchester derby. Ruben Amorim - who commented on the reunion with Hugo Viana - refused to compare the poor form of the Old Trafford team with that of the city rival, as Pep Guardiola has an extensive track record with the Citizens.

"No, you can't compare. That guy [Pep Guardiola] is always winning. He can relax if he's not winning anymore. I have to prove myself every day here, and I feel that," said the Red Devils' coach, in the preview of this Sunday's match.

Despite the difficult moment, Amorim was adamant: "I feel quite comfortable with it, and I think that every day I come here, I have to do better. Comparing my situation to Guardiola's is simply a joke. I think we have bigger problems."

"We still have bigger problems, but we are trying to deal with them all. Sometimes we get frustrated and angry, but we are dealing with all the issues and trying to improve. I see the team playing much better now. We just need to be more effective to win more games, and then things will get easier," concluded the former Sporting coach.

The Manchester derby, valid for the fourth round of the Premier League, is scheduled for this Sunday, September 14th, and will be played at the Etihad Stadium, City's home. The kickoff of the match that pits Ruben Amorim's team against Hugo Viana's is set for 4:30 PM.
