Manchester City’s pre-season tour in China starts on Monday with a derby match against Manchester United and, although it doesn’t feel right playing a Manc derby anywhere but Manchester, it gives you plenty to talk about.
A personal battle, that both managers have admitted they will not be getting involved with, between Mourinho and Guardiola, adds an extra edge to the Manchester Derby this year. The atmosphere may not be as good over in Beijing and the result is not important, but that won’t stop both managers fighting for the first psychological advantage.
Monday July 25th, National Stadium (91,000 capacity), Beijing, 12:30pm.
What we want to know though is if Pep could take one of Mourinho’s United players at City, who would you want him to take out of this list?
