Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has boldly predicted an impending thrashing for Manchester United in their upcoming derby clash against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
“I can’t see any way in which Manchester United get a result from this game, and I would advise that United fans watch it from behind the sofa,” O’Hara told Grosvenor Sport.
“They’ve been so poor recently in losing to Palace, then scraping past Brentford and Sheffield United. I can’t see them doing anything in this game.
“I think Manchester City are going to rock up to Old Trafford and absolutely turn them over. They’ve been the far superior Manchester side for years now, and I don’t expect that to change on Sunday.
“I think it is going to be an emphatic Manchester City victory. When you look at how weak United are defensively, the likes of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez are going to have a field day.”
Despite City’s recent dominance, O’Hara firmly believes that they will never surpass the legacy and fanbase of their rivals, Manchester United. He emphasized, “Manchester United and Liverpool are going to be the biggest clubs in the UK forever because of their history – it’s as simple as that. I don’t care how many trophies you win – you could win 10 Champions Leagues and you are never going to be as big as Manchester United.”
O’Hara continued, “History is what matters. Never in a million years are Manchester City going to be as big as Manchester United. We could be playing in 40, 50, 100 more years, we could even be playing on another planet, and United will be bigger than City. City can’t even fill their own ground! Football goes round in cycles – Manchester City are having their time now because they’ve got Pep Guardiola in charge – but I believe Man United will come back, because they’re Man United.”
The upcoming clash between the two Manchester giants, scheduled for October 29, 2023, at 16:30, is anticipated to be a defining moment for both clubs.
