Former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini had little sympathy for Manchester United when discussing their recent 7-0 hammering suffered against Liverpool.
No stranger to inflicting damaging defeats on the Red Devils of his own doing, Pellegrini guided City to a 4-1 home win before achieving a 3-0 away triumph over United during his first season at the club in 2013/14. During a later spell in charge of West Ham, he secured victories in two of his three meetings with United.
The 69-year-old is now preparing to go head-to-head with the recent Carabao Cup champions once again on Thursday evening in the Europa League last-16 first leg as his Real Betis side make the trip to Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag's team will be desperate to issue an immediate response on the back of their seven-goal humiliation at Anfield, which Pellegrini couldn't help but poke fun at when asked for his opinion on the result.
