Guardiola warns Ten Hag ahead of Manchester derby

Man City manager Pep Guardiola has sent message to Erik ten Hag of Man Utd ahead of their Manchester derby this weekend.

Guardiola while speaking at his Friday press conference ahead of this Sunday’s derby at the Etihad, said Ten Hag has to win in order to keep his job at Old Trafford.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson exited Old Trafford in 2013, the Red Devils have failed to mount any kind of challenge for the title.

Within that time, Man City have been champions six times, including five titles in the last six years under Guardiola and matched Man United’s Treble triumph last season.

The Red Devils head into this weekend’s clash 15 points behind City.

“You have to win in the big clubs,” Guardiola said.

“It’s not easy for United to come from an incredibly successful period with Sir Alex and cope with that.

“Sometimes I can understand it. Before, in England, with the managers they had more patience. Today, everyone has a lot of pressure.”
