Manchester United and Manchester City's rivalry has increased due to the incredible rise of Man City in the Premier League and the inconsistency of Man United. The Manchester Derby is a must-watch game every year, and fans and the media often compare the two. The two clubs are in a different situation compared to before as Man City dominates the Premier League scene, and Man United dreams of bringing the team they once were. A current Manchester United player spoke recently about the differences between the teams at the moment.

Bruno Fernandes is the player who was honest about the comparison between Manchester United and Manchester City. Fernandes talked about Man United's style of play. Fernandes said, "Manchester United's identity has never been about playing a lot of supported football; it is a team with a lot of intensity, intense and offensive football. That's the club's idea. Sometimes, we make the mistake of thinking that all teams have to play in possession... I want to play in possession; I want to have the ball as much as possible.”

Fernandes then says that Manchester United cannot play like Manchester City as they don't have specific types of players. Fernandes said, "It's obvious because players who like to play with the ball want to have it as much as possible, but sometimes we have to fit into the environment we're in. And it's not possible for us to play in the same way as Manchester City, because Manchester City has supporting wingers, very good in 1x1 too, but footballers who really like to play in support and also inside."

Bruno Fernandes says Rashford or Garnacho cannot play like Bernardo Silva

Bruno Fernandes continues with the comparison as he describes the differences between his wingers and Bernardo Silva. Fernandes said, "I can't ask Marcus Rashford and Garnacho, pure wingers, to play inside in the same way as others who perhaps started their careers as midfielders or as number 10s and fell to the lines. I can't ask Rashford or Garnacho to do what Bernardo does when he plays as a winger. It's a completely wrong idea, because Bernardo knows how to be between the lines, he's used to being in the middle and playing from the back is not as simple as it seems."
