Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that he will not rest players for the UCL clash vs Marseille, despite the MUFC clash 3 days later.
He recently revealed that he does not rotate his team and he always tries to put in players who are in the best condition.
According to him, all his players have to be ready amid the tight schedule, because they will all be important for the remainder of the season.
He added that the team that plays in the UCL can also play against United, and he wants victory in both games.
His words, “We are going to decide [on Aguero]. Maybe he will be on the bench, we’ll see his reaction tomorrow in his body, not just his knee,”
“The last two or three days he’s been part of the training and the reaction and the niggles from the recent past have disappeared.
“Everyone has played a lot of minutes so we’ll play the game to win. I don’t rotate the team, I try to put in the players in the best condition, decide the best [line-up] for specific teams, there’s not one team for one competition and one for another.
“Everyone was involved in last few days and that’s good in this tight schedule, everyone has to be ready.”
“They’ll be focused today and when the next game is a derby they will still be focused,”
“The team that plays tomorrow, they can play against United, or maybe not,”
“I want to win this game, it’s not because of one more day, or one less.
“In previous Christmas times we had less days, tomorrow we have the chance to win and then on Thursday or Friday we will think about United.”
