The Rivalry the two Manchester clubs, and the Rivalry between Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola will be ignited when they meet each other on Monday at the National Stadium Beijing china for the second game of the International Champions Cup.

Despite the two teams not playing with their preferred eleven, fans have high expectations on the outcome of the two managers performance. The rivalry between the two managers dates back to their La Liga years.

Manchester City enter this game from a 1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in Wednesday, which means Guardiola’s debut game as City’s manager ended in a defeat. They were towards the end of last season as they lost 6 of their last 7 games, during Peregini’s reign.

Mourinho will enter this game from a 4-1 loss at the hand of German side Borussia Dortmund. The Portuguese manager’s first test as United manager was a 2-0 victory against Wigan Athletic. Mourinho now hopes to win his first Manchester Derby though this will be held on foreign soil.
