It has been a fantastic season for Manchester City so far. They are in the top 3 as of now and are definitely looking as potential challengers for the League title. Although they face stiff competition from Chelsea and Arsenal. And also Liverpool (if they continue playing as they are and the other two slip up a bit).
What is interesting is to see how they utilize their strengths to the maximum. Their defense is solid, midfield is creative and their forwards are clinical. They have a few ageing stars in their line up but they all are contributing superbly at the same time.
The change in staff has affected the club in a very positive manner and Manuel Pellegrini’s attacking mentality has had a great impact on the side.
Now coming to their city counterparts, Manchester United.
I know there has been a lot of talk about Moyes but as a football fan, even I have some views.
We all know that Sir Alex hand picked him for the job but since the day David Moyes took over the reigns at Manchester United, things are going in reverse.
What is worse is that he doesn’t seem to learn from his mistakes. I haven’t seen MAN U play such woefully since ages. Playing bad once in a while is Okay, but constantly since the last 8 months or so? Doesn’t look good at all.
Every team goes through a TRANSITIONAL PERIOD after a change in staff, but judging by the length of this period it doesn’t look healthy for United.
The player’s are not performing, tactics aren’t right, etc, etc. Whatever the problem is, it “NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP”.
So we’ll see what the upcoming summer transfer window has in store for David Moyes, since he has been handed a ‘WAR CHEST’ of $180 million to complete the squad overhaul.
Also if MAN U want to turn thing around this season they better fasten their seat-belts as it is going to be a tough ride from here to claiming a respectable position in the table
Conclusion- City looks the better club in Manchester (judging by current form). But football is a crazy game and anything can happen. So till then, just enjoy the game.

I do not think Moyes will be there to spend a 180 mil. It’s the sack for him after the Arsenal game tonight i think.
As a City fan it has cost over 600 mil to get us where we are now. And we were told you can not buy sucksess.
Fair enough they have some good players but still it will take more than a 180 mil. But Utd have never bought sucksess have they. LOL.
