Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has warned soon-to-be Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola ahead of his arrival at the Etihad.
Herrera, a substitute in Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Stoke City earlier in the week, explained to Marca that he expects his countryman to be under pressure in his new role as he attempts to live up the high expectations of City’s supporters.
“I’m looking at it from a positive point of view,” he told the Spanish paper.
“They’re going to make us do better ourselves. Historically, City have always been below United, and this gives them a psychological advantage, because they are coming from behind.
“With Pep, with the multi-million pound outlay they’ve made and will spend with him, I expect the pressure to be higher for them.
“The fans are going to expect a lot: that they win the Premier League with a 10-point gap, that they reach the Champions League final.
“Pep seems a phenomenon to me. His teams always entertain me a lot, but at City the expectations will be very big.”
