4 greatest club rivalries in the Premier League in the last 20 years

#2 Manchester United vs Manchester City

Manchester United are facing a tough challenge in toppling their cross-town rivals in the EPL

Manchester City, who were termed as “Noisy Neighbours” by the United faithful, emerged as a strong team in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Italian manager Roberto Mancini signed some young and talented players like Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany, Joe Hart, David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi to usher in a new era at the Etihad.

The blue half of Manchester became vibrant again as City won the league title in 2011-12. They also clobbered United 6-1 in a league match in 2011, which remains the heaviest defeat the Red Devils have suffered under Ferguson.

United had managed to win the league title in the 2012-13 season, which was also meant to be their last under Sir Alex Ferguson. The great man left on a winning note, but United have not been able to win the league title since then and have appointed 4 managers in the last 5 years.
