Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took a jab at Manchester City, claiming they will never be as big as Manchester United. Asked if Man City could ever eclipse United, here's what the Norwegian manager replied while speaking with the Mirror:
“No, I can't see it. You have to have respect for what they've done in the last 10 years, even more so in the last four or five, with how dominant they've been in England and in Europe. But we're Manchester United, we're always going to come back. I think we're the No.1 club in Manchester and that also probably means in the world.”
