Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently made a light-hearted comment about backing Manchester United in their upcoming clash against Liverpool.

Following City's goalless draw with Arsenal, Guardiola's side currently occupies the third position in the league standings. Meanwhile, Liverpool leads the table, and their visit to Old Trafford poses as one of their toughest challenges in the remaining fixtures.

Despite the fierce rivalry between City and United, Guardiola humorously expressed his willingness to support United against Liverpool this weekend. A victory or draw for United would significantly impact the title race by keeping the competition wide open.

When asked about his support for United, Guardiola jokingly replied, "Always I support United!" Although it was in jest, Guardiola's remark adds a playful twist to the intense competition in the Premier League.

While Guardiola's statement may not be entirely serious, it highlights the anticipation and excitement surrounding the pivotal clash between United and Liverpool this weekend.
