Ang City of Manchester can match the greatness of Man Utd from Sir Alex Ferguson if he achieves his fourth title of premier league in five seasons with a win against Aston Villa on Sunday, according to Pep Guardiola.
Three times Ferguson’s United managed that success, establishing themselves as the dominant force in English football during the Scottish manager’s 26-year reign.
“Of course it would be great (to win four out of five seasons). When I came here, people told me that the Premier League was very difficult, the hardest, that everyone was beating everyone,” Guardiola told reporters before the battle against Villa. .
“Only Sir Alex Ferguson at United can make four in five years. When that happens, you realize the size of that United at this time and how they’ve done it so many times. We’re about to be a part of that and we have to try to be there. ” City needed to win at home on the final day to clinch the title ahead of Liverpool, who are one point behind against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Guardiola has eyes on next season, with City already signing striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this month to strengthen their squad.
The 21-year-old Norwegian, who scored 29 goals for Dortmund last season, is one of Europe’s talents, but Guardiola warns that the Nordic should not be expected to succeed right away.
“He’s coming to a new country, a new house, making new friends, all these kinds of things that he has to adjust to. But I’m pretty sure he’ll adjust well. If it takes him a week, fine. If it takes him months, great. He hasn’t been here for two or three months, he’s been here for many years, hopefully. ”
