The Manchester Derby has always been one of the biggest fixtures in English football. However, in recent years, the rivalry has intensified as Man City has become a dominant force under Man City FC owner Sheikh Mansour. Meanwhile, Manchester United, under the controversial Man United FC owners, has struggled to reclaim its past glory.
Historically, Manchester United was the biggest club in England, with dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson. However, since Man City ownership changed in 2008, City has won multiple Premier League titles and even lifted the Champions League in 2023. This shift in power has made the Manchester Derby more intense than ever.
Unlike Man City owners, who have invested billions into their club, the Man United owners have been criticized for prioritizing financial gains over sporting success. This difference in ownership strategy has played a significant role in how both clubs have performed in the last decade.
Despite City’s recent dominance, Manchester United still boasts a larger global fanbase and a richer history. The battle for Manchester continues, and with new investments under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United hopes to challenge City for supremacy once again.
