Dimitar Berbatov eagerly awaits the Manchester Derby. However, Berbatov fears Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not ‘survive’ if Manchester United lose badly.
MU will host Manchester City at Old Trafford, Saturday (6/11/2021) night WIB. The Red Devils were overshadowed by a 0-5 defeat to Liverpool, although after that they managed to bounce back with a 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
City will certainly be a big test for MU because of its status as defending champions, competitors in the competition for the Premier League title, plus tough rivals like Liverpool.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s seat is often rumored to be insecure due to MU’s inconsistency at the start of this season. The Norwegian manager has often been pressured to step down, even though the club are still holding on to him.
Former Man United striker Berbatov said Solskjaer learned from the humiliating defeat to Liverpool against City. The reason is, if MU suffers a similar result against Liverpool in the Manchester Derby, then Solskjaer is threatened with losing the support of the club.
“If United approach this game against City as they did against Liverpool, then the result will be the same. And if the result and performance is the same, it will be too heavy for everyone,” he told reporters. the Sun.
“I hope and I don’t think it will be like that anyway. Otherwise it would be a double shame and show that Ole didn’t learn from Liverpool which he shouldn’t have,” continued Berbatov.
“They have to learn from that defeat and do everything they can to play in a way to win. This is a very important game. They know each other well and they have to prepare and play the right tactics. Don’t forget that Ole has a good record against City lately.”
“I’m really curious to see how they corrected everything from the game against Liverpool. If you play at 100 per cent and then lose, no one will blame. When everyone is at their best and the other team is smarter, what can you say?” added Berbatov ahead of the Manchester Derby.
