We had 10 or 11 players who were more than 30-years-old so we said \u201cOK, we have to bring energy and quality\u201d and they supported me.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It takes time. If United win four, five, six games in a row, they will be here. They are so close.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We have won five of the last six Premier Leagues. It\u2019s because of the organisation of our club.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>United haven\u2019t finished higher than City in the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and Ten Hag is the fourth manager Guardiola has faced in the derby following Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.<\/p>\n<p>There is already a six-point gap between the teams this season and Guardiola doesn\u2019t rate United as being his biggest threats since he joined City in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Of course it has been Liverpool,\u2019 he said. \u2018They made us a challenge like not other team has done before in my period here and helped make us better.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Now we are in the elite and maybe it is uncomfortable (for Man United). We are there now and we want to be there in the future.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool have twice finished only a point behind champions City including an epic race in 2019 which City edged 98-97.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/29\/11\/77139231-0-image-a-3_1698577730615.jpg\" height=\"453\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Guardiola identified Liverpool as his greatest challengers during his time in England, saying Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s side helped make his team better<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/29\/11\/77139247-0-image-a-4_1698577789805.jpg\" height=\"444\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Man City boss does not believe it will be possible for any team to enjoy the sort of dominance that Sir Alex Ferguson had during his time at Old Trafford<\/p>\n<p>Despite any improvements United may make, Guardiola thinks the era of dominance they enjoyed under Fergie in the 1990s and 2000s is almost impossible to repeat.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Maybe not in the way Sir Alex Ferguson controlled in those days because in that moment I think there were two or three teams (serious competitors),\u2019 said Guardiola.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Now, Arsenal are back and Newcastle have arrived. Chelsea are in the process to restructure a few things. They will do it in the next years with the manager they have and the investment..<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Look at Spurs, how good they are playing.
