Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini: 'I love managing Manchester United'

Pellegrini confuses Manchester clubs

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has accidentally mistaken the Sky Blues for their city rivals United.

The Chilean coach, who watched his side beat Sunderland 3-1 in the League Cup final on Sunday, was speaking after the match when he made the error, saying that he thrives on the pressure of managing a "big team like Manchester United".

"I love pressure - to manage a big team like Manchester United and to [be competing in] all the competitions is very good for all of us," Pellegrini told reporters.

City's boss went on to say that the club will fight hard to win more silverware this season.
