Pep is smart and if we see a down performance of Manchester City, Pep understands about his squad better than us. He is like Zidane, will take a break after a massive success and will not want to take risk to damage his career and previous success.
He has one advantage to leave, his contract will be expired after this season and it pluses with current issues, down performances of Manchester City, he has no reason to stay in the club.
He doesn't need to prove anything, so he can choose whatever he want. He can also become England national team manager if he want and it's more relax since the national team schedule is looser than league.
If we see from head to head statistics Liverpool had good records during playing at Anfield because from 10 meeting at Anfield Liverpool was unbeatable because they got 7 wins and 3 draws from those matches and based on the odds between these teams too i can see Liverpool is slightly the favourite with odds @2.39 however although Liverpool only able to gets draw result from Manchester United but basically they are in the good shape even so with Arsenal that until week 17 their performance is still stable so it's very interesting to know who is the winner of this match
No it's not Manchester United in good shape, but Onana make many good saves here, so the only player that perform in this match is Onana.
While the rest, they just play like they used to be. Anyway it's really surprising Bruno Fernandes was abstain in this match, Ten Hag have realized Bruno and Rashford should get punishment due to their bad perform.
