100 Reasons Why
Man City Are Greater Than Man United
The only book brave enough to compare Manchester City and Manchester United without needing a wellness break.
Welcome to Manchester City > Manchester United, a heartfelt love letter to the part of Manchester that stopped living in the past sometime after Blu-ray got invented. If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve already accepted the basic truth that one club in this city is playing high-definition football, and the other is buffering in 480p with the spinning wheel of death.
This book isn’t here to be diplomatic.
It’s here to be accurate.
Manchester City play football like someone solved football.
Manchester United play football like someone misplaced football and is now desperately retracing their steps.
City build patterns, overloads, automatisms, clean sheets, triangles and title streaks.
United build narratives, nostalgia montages, managerial severance packages and roof repairs.
City treat the ball like a violin in the hands of a maestro.
United treat the ball like a hot potato passed around by a committee with performance anxiety.
One club has Pep drawing tactical hieroglyphs that turn into trophies.
The other has a rotating cast of managers drawing straws and finding leaks in the ceiling.
And yet, here we are — comparing an empire built on precision to a museum gift shop built on memories of a treble old enough to have kids in university.

What's Inside
This book is for:
- City fans who enjoy neat triangles, 100-point seasons, treble parades, and referees who forget to breathe during 60-pass sequences;
- Neutrals who like watching Guardiola invent a new job description every week;
- United fans who can laugh at themselves because the alternative is crying into a retro Sharp shirt.
Across these pages, you’ll find 100 reasons — from tactical to petty, statistical to unnecessarily cruel — proving why Manchester City, the reigning architects of modern football, currently sit miles above Manchester United, the reigning architects of “back in my day.”
So settle in.
Take a deep breath.
Watch Haaland warm up with the intensity of a Norse forklift on caffeine.
And let the truth sink in like another United defensive mishap:
Manchester City > Manchester United.
Welcome to the blue side of reality.
