Manchester City are derby favourites – Van Gaal

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes Manchester City are the favourites heading into Sunday’s derby clash. Manuel Pellegrini’s side sit two points clear at the top of the Premier League table with United in third, and the Red Devils boss feels his side are underdogs at Old Trafford. “You have to ask the fans who are the favourites. It’s not so important who is the favourite. If you look at the facts, they are first. They are the favourites I think,” he told reporters. “We are second or third, there is a goal difference and a point difference, so I think they are the favourites.”
