Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag claims that Pep Guardiola is the only Premier League manager who has outperformed him since his arrival at Old Trafford. The two Manchester rivals are set to meet at Wembley Stadium in the FA Community Shield, where Manchester City seeks to avenge its previous defeat to Manchester United in the Emirates FA Cup final. Ten Hag’s team secured a 2-1 victory over Guardiola’s side in the FA Cup final, with goals from Garnacho and Mainoo leading to an unassailable lead.
Guardiola’s Manchester City has had the upper hand in recent meetings against Manchester United, winning both Premier League encounters during the 2023/24 season and claiming a 6-3 victory in Ten Hag’s first season at Old Trafford. Despite the success of Guardiola’s side, Ten Hag has managed to win two trophies since joining Manchester United from Ajax. The Dutch manager believes that his team is in a strong position and is confident in their ability to beat any opponent, including City and Liverpool.
Guardiola has won six out of the last eight meetings against Manchester United and has secured 17 major trophies since his arrival at Manchester City in 2016. Meanwhile, Manchester United has won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since Ten Hag’s appointment from Ajax. The rivalry between Guardiola and Ten Hag is set to continue as the two managers prepare their teams for the upcoming season.
