The kind of home advantage that you get from being in these big stadiums full of fans is something that based on
on German football isn't something that either Manchester United or Manchester City can look with any great confidence upon.

I think he's pleased with the way things are shaping up and the momentum that his side are managing to get.
That's nine games unbeaten, six wins, three draws, two goals conceded.
And when you think about how he started his time at Manchester United when he first came over,
That was unbeaten in XI, so he's getting towards those sort of heady heights and things very, very different to what they were before Christmas.

Would they have liked to have him there?
Yeah, I think they would as well.
