On Saturday, an exciting matchup between the two Manchester teams is scheduled at Wembley, with Erik ten Hag's team entrusted with preventing City from taking a historic treble one step further.
Deeney, who captained Watford in the 2019 FA Cup final against City, wrote for The Sun on his own encounter with Pep Guardiola's team at Wembley.
Early on, Javi Garcia's team was successful in frustrating their rivals, but the match's competitiveness would soon end as David Silva gave City the lead after 26 minutes.
After goals from Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, and Gabriel Jesus turned the game into a rout, Deeney admitted that his team deserved to win.
The challenge of taking on Pep Guardiola's City is unlike any other. They suffocate you, irritate you, drain your mental energy, bully you, and ultimately demoralize you.
I honestly found myself counting their guys on the field versus City more than once because I was genuinely thinking they had more players than we had.
The 34-year-old continued by saying that even though United have far more potential than his Watford team did in 2019, they won't be able to defeat the Premier League Champions at Wembley in the end.
I'd really like to tell you that I think this Cup final will be a wonderful battle, but I don't think it will even come close to the quality United have compared to what we had at Watford.
You could call it a one-time game. In a derby, anything can happen, as the saying goes. United are, should we say, in respectable shape. You may say that United won the most recent matchup against City at home.
You can argue for Erik ten Hag's team all you want, but you will be ignoring how excellent City are.
Even Real Madrid lost in the Champions League match at the Etihad. City are currently the Galacticos of world football.
