Danny Murphy believes Manchester United would be infinitely better with ‘genius’ Pep Guardiola in charge
Pep Guardiola would make Manchester United play better football and win more football matches, according to former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy.The Manchester City boss has been in charge for the same amount of time rival Jose Mourinho has been at Old Trafford, but the chasm between the two sides appears to be widening.4

Mourinho embraces Pep Guardiola before the Manchester derby

Sunday’s comfortable 3-1 win over the Red Devils kept City two points clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, 12 points clear of their local rivals in eighth.Although Mourinho admitted he is not worried about losing his job, the styles of play on show at the Etihad suggest a major overhaul is needed in the red side of Manchester.Murphy, who played for fierce rivals Liverpool, believes United would be miles better off under Guardiola – even though it could be argued Mourinho ‘has done more as a manager’.He said on the Jim White Show, “Would Pep Guardiola have that United side doing better than they’re doing at the moment? I think yes.4

“What you could argue is Mourinho and Guardiola have won very similar trophies along the way – Mourinho has done it at different clubs.“So you could put an argument across that Mourinho has done more as a manager; he’s done it at Porto where winning the Champions League was nothing short of phenomenal.“You can put an argument across all you want, but if you’re talking about Man United specifically, I think if Pep Guardiola had been in charge of Manchester United for as long as Mourinho had, they would be playing better football and winning more football matches.”After winning multiple trophies as manager of Barcelona, Guardiola embarked on a sabbatical from football to relax himself after being so emotionally invested with the club.4

The Spaniard’s form over the past two years has been nothing short of incredible

During that time, a host of other clubs approached him, but it was Bayern Munich who got their man. After enjoying yet more success in the Bundesliga, Manchester City finally brought the Champions League winner to England.Despite his prestigious list of former clubs, Murphy went on to say he believes luck will have naturally played a part in some of Guardiola’s career. But the 47-year-old is undeniably talented.“I think he is a genius but, like anybody at the top of the tree, he’s had a bit of fortune along the way,” he continued.“He went in at the top and he still got them better and he made them better! The other player worth mentioning is David Silva; I’ve said before I think he is one of the best midfielders in the world. “I’ve never criticised his ability, I criticised his end product. And I kept looking at his numbers; in the last two seasons under Pep, his numbers have gone through the roof in terms of assists and goals.“I mean, that is not coincidence.”Ally McCoist and Alan Brazil are going on tour.
