Manchester United have been told they should have hired Diego Simeone to rival Man City rather than Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.
The 52-year-old looks set to be appointed as the next Red Devils manager, but it's been claimed that City's bruising encounter with Atletico, proved Simeone was a better appointment to close the gap on Pep Guardiola's side.
Meanwhile, Guardiola has hinted that City could be without two key players for their FA Cup semi-final fixture against Liverpool on Saturday evening. Full back Kyle Walker and playmaker Kevin de Bruyne picked up knocks midweek against Atletico Madrid and are major doubts to take the field at Wembley Stadium this weekend.
