Growing up, I never thought I’d ever be faced with this.
Traditional rivals Liverpool, maybe, derby rivals City, never! But that was before football changed.
The money men have taken over and City have gone from being an ailing giant in the third tier of English football to top of the tree, thanks to the billions of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the Abu Dhabi United Group.
Now, City and Liverpool as a pair, run neck and neck for English football’s greatest prize. Growing up a United fan was difficult, watching superb Liverpool teams dominate English football, claiming title after title.
