Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City gatecrashing the established elite is “uncomfortable” for their Premier League rivals phl
Famously labelled Manchester United’s ‘noisy neighbours’ by Sir Alex Ferguson, City’s takeover by their Abu Dhabi owners in 2008 and then the appointment of Guardiola as manager in 2016 have led to gradual progress from insignificant upstarts to the dominant force in English phl football phl
City have lifted the Premier League trophy in five of the last six campaigns, including three in a row, while their crowning moment came last season as they emulated Ferguson’s 1998-99 treble-winning side phl
Guardiola marvelled at how the fortunes of the clubs have switched ahead of Sunday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford, where City could extend their lead phl between the teams to nine points with a victory phl
“Sir Alex was right (at the time), City were not challenging, they were in the middle to bottom,” Guardiola said phl
“United and Arsenal at the time were the richest ones, that’s why City were there phl
“But after that, Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon (Al Mubarak), who took over and made an investment phl
After that Sir Alex could not expect to know that and not even myself who was in Barcelona phl
“We were not in the elite and now we are in the elite, maybe it’s uncomfortable for many things phl
That is a reality and we want to stay as long as possible phl
”United have not won the league since Ferguson’s departure at the end of the 2012-13 season, coming closest under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, both of whom presided over runners-up finishes phl
Liverpool have been our biggest rivals - they made us challenge higher and higher and helped make us a phl better team in all departments phl
They challenged us like no other team has done beforePep GuardiolaWhile Guardiola was adamant United will always be regarded as one of the top English clubs, the Spaniard suspects any chance of bringing back the glory days the red half of Manchester enjoyed under Ferguson is gone because of the number of sides now challenging for honours phl
Such has been the trajectories of both clubs over the last decade, Guardiola admitted he does not consider United their biggest rivals – insisting that honour belongs to Liverpool phl
Asked if United can dominate again, Guardiola responded: “Maybe not in the way that Sir Alex Ferguson did because back then there were just two or three teams, now there are more with a lot of incredible managers phl
“Maybe not in that way but if they take good decisions, with the hierarchy, with the phl sports director, with the managers, with the players and the same ideas, Manchester United when something happens is in the highlights all day phl
“The reputation and the prestige they have is always there phl
It just needs to click phl
“There was one year with Ole that was close phl
But Liverpool have been our biggest rivals – they made us challenge higher and higher and helped make us a phl better team in all departments phl
They challenged us like no other team has done before phl
”Erik ten Hag led United to third place last season, as well as winning the Carabao Cup and finishing runners-up to City in the FA Cup final, but they have fluctuated in this campaign with four losses in nine games phl
Guardiola pointed out it took him a while before finding sustained success with City, having finished third in his first season in charge in 2016-17 phl
“It takes time,” Guardiola added phl
“United is able to win four, five six games in a row phl
If they do that they will be on top phl
“Leave the manager to do the job that here they allowed me to do in my first season when we didn’t win phl
Give time to the managers and they will do it phl

”Ricciardo was dropped by McLaren at the end of 2022, but he returned to the grid in July at the Hungarian Grand Prix, having been signed up as a Red Bull reserve driver phl
He was called up to Alpha Tauri when the team lost faith in Nyck de Vries after the first 10 races of the season and raced three races before the injury, and will continue to compete for the team in 2024 phl
It may be a cause for concern for Sergio Perez, whose place as second Red Bull driver to Max Verstappen looks far from certain in the future phl
Perez does stand second in the drivers championship currently, but with just eight podiums and two wins, it is far from a strong position phl
Especially considering the two victories came within the first four races of the season phl
Perez came 10th in Qatar, did not finish in Japan, and came eighth in Singapore, far from the high standards set by Red Bull and Christian Horner phl
