" I say this for no other reason. It's true - no Man Utd player is good enough to get a regular place in the current Man City squad ," said former coach Graeme Souness - now a football commentator for British newspapers and TV channels.
Mr. Souness explained: " I believe that Man City's reserve players are also enough to strengthen Man Utd. Man City have good players in every position.
People might ask me what about Bruno Fernandes? Where does he play when Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne are on the pitch? Marcus Rashford? Is he better than Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva, not to mention Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez. Casemiro is a good midfielder, he has played well this season but is he better than Rodri? ".
Souness assessed that the quality of Man Utd players is inferior to Man City's overall.
"Man Utd are one of the greatest teams in the world. They attract the best stars. But that was the period when Man Utd played to Sir Alex's high standards. Since Sir Alex and David Gill left, their dealings in the transfer market have become messy.
"I would need a whole TV show to detail what Man Utd need to do to catch Man City, both on and off the pitch, because given the size of the club they are, they should be competing for the Premier League and Champions League," added Souness.
Man Utd will face Man City in the FA Cup final on the evening of June 3. Man Utd have the opportunity to win their second title this season, after winning the Carabao Cup. Coach Erik ten Hag was also very confident when he declared in front of 70,000 spectators at Old Trafford last weekend that he would bring the championship to the club's trophy room.
Meanwhile, Man City are aiming for a treble this season. The FA Cup is their second trophy after winning the Premier League. In terms of power, former coach Souness rates Man City higher than Man Utd. However, he believes that anything can happen in football.
" With all that said, there's a big 'but'. Man Utd are not without a chance of winning. I think they can do it, like how Wigan beat Man City in 2013 ," Souness said.
