Tim Howard believes Manchester United taking on Manchester City can't compare as a fixture to Liverpool meeting Everton.
Former Toffees goalkeeper Howard told TalkSport's Sean O'Brien how the Merseyside derby far outstrips Manchester's neighbourhood rivalry: "It will always be the biggest game. The Merseyside derby is the greatest game I've ever played in. It's a thousand times better than the Manchester derby. Anyone who tells you differently is just pulling your leg."
Howard's made his claim ahead of UEFA Champions League holders Liverpool hosting Everton at Anfield on Wednesday. It's the first Merseyside derby of the 2019/20 Premier League campaign, with City and United set to renew hostilities at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
