Derbies are huge games, one that can cause clashes between fans, especially when both clubs are in contention for winning the league.
This is the case with the Manchester derby, as City and United are tipped to endure a fiery clash. The two neighbors and fierce rivals will lock horns once the international break ends, with their run-in scheduled for Saturday’s early kick-off.
But could the presence of new managers Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho mean we are all in for an even more intense affair? Almost everyone believes so and so do the police, as the Daily Mail claim police have been briefed over the feud between the two coaches.
Security will be on a high for the Old Trafford tie in order to maintain the peace, with 400 police set to be deployed. Part of their preparation for the Manchester derby included studying the history between the Spanish and Portuguese tacticians.
The two have a past, one marked with bad blood, controversy, and wars of words which spans began during the Special One’s Inter Milan days, hitting its high during his Real Madrid stint.
Both managers insisted they won’t snub the handshake ritual prior to the ICC 2016 fixture which was eventually canceled, showing that they may be ready to let bygones be bygones.
