Pep Guardiola has stoked the rivalry flames between Manchester’s top clubs, declaring that Manchester City will not suffer the same fate as Manchester United should he decide to leave the Etihad this summer.

As United continue to struggle in the decade following Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, Guardiola expressed confidence that City’s recent dominance in English football—six Premier League titles in seven years—will endure, even without him at the helm.

“It would be a bad sign if one person leaves and everything collapses,” Guardiola remarked, alluding to United’s struggles post-Ferguson. The Spaniard insisted City’s structure and leadership ensure the club won’t face a similar downfall, adding, “They know exactly what they have to do.”

With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, speculation about Guardiola’s next move has intensified. But even as fans await word on his future, Guardiola’s comments highlight his belief in a well-prepared Manchester City that can thrive without him—potentially leaving a blueprint for United to follow.
