"I think it's the biggest rivalry in English football," he said.
"In a few years, if Man City carry on the way they are going, that [rivalry] might overtake it a little bit.
"You'd expect two Manchester teams to have the biggest rivalry, but I don't think it is, I think it's the Liverpool-Man Utd thing, especially with Liverpool trying to get to United's record of league titles. We don't want them to do that.
