Manchester United fans are furious after claiming that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has surpassed Sir Alex Ferguson in terms of achievement in their first season in English football.
Manchester City are currently top of the Premier League table ahead of their relegation clash with Everton this afternoon, one point ahead of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, who face Brighton and Hove Albion at the end of the day.
As well as the elite of English football, City also have a Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid to focus on next week after earning a 1-1 draw against the defending champions at the Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday. Tuesday night.

Since Guardiola's arrival in 2016, City have grown stronger and stronger and are now at the top of football's food chain, with the Champions League trophy being the only trophy that has eluded them until now.
With nine major trophies to his name at the Etihad Stadium, comparisons are now being made to arguably English football's greatest manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. As seen in the attached tweet, which highlights both managers' achievements in their first seasons in charge of their respective Manchester clubs.
Alex Ferguson joined United in 1986, see how he performed in his first six seasons as Pep also completed six at City.

Since then, United fans have reacted to the post, which has caused quite a bit of upset and outcry. Here are some reactions:
@AGA82171:
Don't include the status of the teams they inherit because that doesn't fit your story.
@rhirrcur:
Sir Alex had to deal with off-field problems such as kicking players out of the pub. Admit that Sir Alex has ruined your childhood. There is a reason for longevity as Sir Alex has never been mentioned. Stop creating your own figures for comparison lol.
@JamesMitch14:
One of the worst Ferguson Vs Pep ever wrote. As if the context didn't exist. Advertisement

The fact that these people can't scratch that itch, no matter how hard they try or win, is truly amazing. Keep trying to push this point forward, no one will agree with the larger point you're trying to make.
