Manchester United are still recovering from the 5-0 humiliation against arch-rivals Liverpool in the Premier League. Although the Red Devils have pulled up their socks and are in good form and shape after hammering Tottenham Hotspurs 3-0 last weekend with Cristiano Ronaldo opening the scoring and assisting one goal for striker Edison Cavani. Also, on Wednesday, Ronaldo rescued United once again with a late equaliser when his side was losing 2-1 to the Italian side, Atalanta in the Champions League.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are underperforming compared to the last season when they were crowned the champions of England as they just lost an easy fixture against Crystal Palace at home last weekend, but it didn't affect the result city fans were expecting in the Champions League as they defeated Belgian side Club Brugge 4-1 at home.

Cristiano Ronaldo Stats vs Pep Guardiola and Manchester City

The Portuguese superstar was called "one of the greatest players in history" by the Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola in a post-match interview on Wednesday where City won 4-1 against Club Brugge, although Ronaldo has underperformed against both City and Guardiola compared to his standards as he has scored only 5 times against City in 14 appearances and 4 of them were in a Man Utd jersey.

Notably, Ronaldo has an incredible record against almost every opposition and coach but he has struggled against coach Pep Guardiola scoring only 7 goals in 16 meetings. The 36-year-old will surely look to improve his record at this point of time where it matters the most.
